There is no homework that is given in gym class. I start the first day of
school trying to get my students prepared for the Connecticut Physical
Fitness Assessment that is tied in with the Connecticut State Mastery Test.
My physical fitness test scores must be in to the Governor in Hartford by
November 15th. These scores must be in to Clinton's Superintendent by the
end of October.
I will be sending home an explanation of the 4 parts of the test in
September so that my students can get an early start. They can practice sit
ups, push ups, and sit and reach at home. The students are allowed to
practice for the test. The hardest part for the majority of students is the
one mile walk/run. They should be jogging daily adding a little
distance/time each day until they are able to jog for approximately
15 minutes without walking.
