We are working hard in gym. We start by warming up with our pedometers on our
gym pants. The students then begin walking for 5 minutes. The goal is to have
at least 500 steps on their pedometers at the end of our 5 minute walk.(Our
Five Hundred Club)The students are doing a great job of creating lots of
steps to reach their goal. Some are doing dance steps, slide stepping, gallop
steps and just walking very quickly.
In Kindergarten and Unit A we are working on eye hand and eye foot skills.
The student are learning and reviewing kicking a stationary ball. We will be
doing rope jumping shortly and using bean bags.
Students in 3rd and 4th grade are beginning football skills. We are learning
that a football is a very difficult type of ball to work with.
All students are trying to hit 1,000 steps or more by the end of gym. Almost
everyone has reached that goal. (Thousand Club)
Our new grey shirts look great. As a reminder, all gym uniforms should be
purchased from either the Used Uniform Program or from Schuylkill Valley
Sporting Goods store at the Coventry Mall.
Socks should be long enough that they are above the shoe line. Please watch
for any torn clothing.
