MILE CLUB

MILE CLUB

The Mile Club is in full swing! All students in grades 2-5 may participate in the Mile Club during their lunch recess. They walk or jog 20 times around the designated path and earn a "Foot" which they wear on a chain around their wrist or backpack or wherever they choose. At DN the second graders walk or jog the walking path every Wednesday, and at PB grades 2-5 walk or jog around their field on Mondays and Tuesdays. We have a lot of excited students participating in this program, getting at least 15-20 minutes of physical activity, toward their goal of 60 minutes, each day!

Jump Roping!!

We have started our Jump Rope Unit in PE this week! The students are learning how to swing the rope over their heads and time their 2 foot jump to clear the rope. They are sweating up a storm : ) and also learning the importance of jumping rope on their heart. They have learned that their heart is a muscle, about the size of their fist, and doing exercises such as jumping rope makes their heart beat faster, which in turn makes it stronger!
JUMP ROPE FOR HEART will happen in gym classes during the week after Feb. vacation. More to come....

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Our PE classes have been jumping rope in preparation for our annual JRFH event which will occur in gym classes the week after February vacation! We have been working on short jump rope skills and long jump rope skills. Our Pre-K and Kindergarten are getting help from second graders turning the long jump ropes(which is a skill in itself). If students want to collect donations for the American Heart Association(AHA) they can turn them in, with the JRFH envelope, after Feb. vacation. Parents are welcome to join their students and help turn ropes! Please check with Kim Burgess, Secretary, if you want to volunteer.
Thanks!
