3rd-6th Grade Activities
FITNESS TESTING
October included doing our fitness test called the Fitnessgram. They were tested on push-ups, curl-ups, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance. They have already improved upon their scores from last year and I couldn't be prouder!

TEAM SPORTS
After spending time with sportsmanship, we used that knowledge for our first two team sports of the year, ultimate Frisbee and football. The students absolutely impressed me with how well they did during the Frisbee unit They picked up ultimate quick and I loved watching them. We only spent a couple of days on Football but they did a nice job with that as well.

Team Building and Sportsmanship
As usual, we started off the year working on team building and sportsmanship. We spent a lot of time talking about respect and what it takes to succeed as as team. We did an activity called "Lifeboats" where students had to work in teams to get each other across the gym using a scooter, jump rope, and hula hoops. It was a little frustrating at times but they did really well.
We then worked with mini parachutes. Students once again had to work in groups to do a variety of activities. They love working with parachutes and worked hard to accomplish each task.
