week of Oct 20th
Another week, another fit day ahead of us!
We are continuing our Fitness test this week. We are almost done, just a few more days.
We will also get all make ups done this week. In both fitness test and stretching test.
We are still in rugby. We will go over more skills and learn how to play a non-contact game!
6th graders, remember to take your clothes home this week, since you are gone next week.
8th graders will have their action test this week. The work sheet is in a previous blog.
Study! We will review in class. The format will be similar to the stretch test. Please ask if you have questions! I know they are a few who have not finished their stretch test, we will finish the first few days of the week.
Wednesday is a mini day so plan ahead!
It will be a bit cooler this week so make sure you have the correct color sweats to wear outside!
Also remember to wear your correct exercise shoes. It does help your joints if your feet are happy!
We still have a few more gently used and new shoes if you NEED them, just ask!
We are here to help keep you fit and confident!
Have a happy and healthy week.☺

Week of Oct 13th
We are starting another great week at school.
It is conference week, so mini days all week!
This is also the week we try to get all our fitness testing done.
We have the mile run almost done, make ups will be next week.
We still have push-ups, crunches, ht/wt, sit/reach and trunk lift to do this week.
We hope to get it all done this week, but also know with the larger classes it will not happen, so make-ups will run into next week. We should be done within two weeks without a problem.
So practice a few of these skills at home. They are the same ones we do every year and for the sixth graders you did them last year as 5th graders. We do them at the beginning of the year so we can see where you stand now and so you know what areas you need to work on for the year. Then we do them at the end of the year to see how much you have improved. Our goal is for you to begun fit for life and not just learn sports. We want you to be the best you can be in all aspects of fitness.
We always see constant improvement as all students get stronger and fitter every year.
Here are a few pointers to help you do well.
Practice the plank at home daily, this will help with your push-ups and crunches.
Do a few push-ups, 5-10 is fine. Do 25-30 crunches daily also.
When doing push-ups make sure your back/body is straight by keeping your core tight.
Go down to 90 degree elbows and go at a 3 second count. Your hands should be wider then your shoulders, so when you bend your arms, they are at a right angle.
When doing crunches, legs are bent, arms are straight on the floor beside your thighs and you slide your arms about four inches. It is not a sit-up, just a crunch, your lower back stays on the ground.
Stretch daily after you exercise/do sports, especially your hamstrings and back muscles.
Staying flexible does help in all aspects of your active life.
These are all skills we have done in class already, so be ready to do the best you can this week.
Remember these tests are for you, it is not a competition, it is to help you know how fit you are now and what you need to do to become more fit.
Any questions, just ask in class.
We are here to help you be the best you can be!

week of Oct 6th
We are moving right along here!
The end of this week is our first progress report.
So let's make sure all your work is up to date!
We are moving into our next sport and it will be rugby/zone football.
We will begin with rugby-no contact of course!
This week we have our stretching quiz and practice mile.
So be ready for both!
We may also have time at the end of the week for some final miles!
You can have a word bank for the stretching quiz if you chose.
Remember, do not stress too much about the mile, just do the best that you can!
We grade in Fitness class on effort and progress!
Your practice mile and final mile should be similar times, around 30 to 90 seconds of each other.
So yes, you have to try on both :) We will take the better of the two times.
8th graders, you will have the action quiz next week, we will continue to review in class.
Make sure you have your notes so you know your opposing muscles!
It will be a wonderful week and the weather should be perfect!
Have a fun and fit week!
