This week PE with Coach Pope is moving indoors with Kindergarten and First Grade to begin our exploration of the mini-gym. This space will be used participate in motor development, experiment with gymnastics, and even do some rock climbing!
Grades two, three and four will begin our Fall Fitness Testing. Students will be introduced to the Presidential Fitness test and be given the opportunity to find their baseline fitness level. It is so important for the students to understand that doing the test early in the school year gives us a chance to see where we excel and where we need to improve throughout the year. This is a great time to talk to your child about setting goals and emphasizing individual improvement as opposed to feeling like he or she is competing with classmates. Hopefully, if we all work together toward this goal, we can help all of our students become comfortable with this important part of Physical Education!
