Announcements small medium large Dear Parents and Students, Each year as part of our Physical Education Program we teach the students the importance of physical fitness. During the year we will discuss the 5 components of physical fitness. These components are 1.Cardiorespiratory Endurance 2.Muscular Strength 3.Muscular Endurance 4.Flexibility 5.Body Composition. To encourage the students to improve their physical fitness independently, we will again use a program we initiated last year called "The Fitness Chain". We are asking the students to exercise outside of school for at least 30 minutes 4 days per week. Examples include practices and games for different sports, dance, tennis, gymnastics, and karate. Activities around the house, for example, include bike riding, jumping rope, jogging, hula hooping, roller blading/skating, and walking. Each time a student exercises 30 minutes 4 days a week we will add a link to our fitness chain. This chain will be hung up around the gym and links will be added weekly. The information can be reported to us in the following ways: 1. Go to the Madisonville Elementary website (http://madisonvilleelementary.stpsb.org) and click on Teachers Spot. Scroll down to Physical Education Class. You can go to the Fitness Chain Online Response and fill it out and send it to us through webmail or you can go to Fitness Chain Download and fill out the form and print it out and your child give it to their homeroom teacher. 2. The information can also be written on a piece of paper and given to your child's homeroom teacher. It should include your child's name and grade level. List the date, amount of time and activities performed. This program will begin the week of October 13th. Parents, please encourage your child/ren to participate in the Fitness Chain and, please stop by the gym to see our progress! Thank you, Mrs. Fritscher and the P.E. staff Parents, Listed below is a website with a brochure called Healthy Kids, Healthy Families. It reports the benefits of physical activity, gives ideas for increasing physical activity in families, and provides assistance finding the right fit between your child's interests and personality with organized activites. The print is small but you can zoom in and magnify it. Please take a look. It is a great brochure! http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/physicalactivity/brochures/index.htm Parents, Please check the class schedule to see which days your child/children have P.E. class and have them wear tennis shoes on these days. Some children are sitting out of P.E. class because the shoes they are wearing are not suitable for the activities. Thank you for your help in this matter.
