11/16/10 to 11/30/10, Inclusive

We will continue and in some classes complete our "Standing Broad Jump" test for leg strength. Some classes will be participating or will have participated in a variety of Thanksgiving theme-related activities: some tag games; as able, many classes having learned to set the Thanksgiving table while using sports/gym equipment in a fun relay for this learning experience and of course, our youngest students were "Dancing with the Stars" while performing a simple Turkey Tango-style dance! We will finish-up our November Circuit Training Challenge as of the 30th. Our Gym Turkey has been looking terrific displaying "Class" feathers representing best exercise efforts. All students who participated the required amount of gym classes received or will receive a certificate for their great participation. I'm glad for everyone's efforts during our Fitness Friday Activity and I hope everyone has enjoyed the Thanksgiving break and did remember to exercise. I am always thankful for "Good Sports!" See you soon!
