We will introduce and begin our discussion of our "Principal's Muscles," with our very own Principals allowing us to put some fun into our learning of the major muscle groups! We will continue/re-test/complete our sit-up testing. It's time to "play ball" in gym class! All "Good Sports" who do their best are always a "big hit" in P.E. Class! We may even add a rhythmical activity for our youngest students. At our practice stations, we will be working with some fun equipment, emphasizing many physical skills, such as throwing, catching, tracking, golf putting and locomotor skills. Our Walking Club Winners have begun to receive a stepometer/pedometer device to count their walking steps in lieu of the traditional pencil prize. Stay tuned for our Fitness Friday Activity! Keep exercising!
