This past week was spent doing mid-year fitness testing for grades two through four. Sit and reach, the shuttle run, sit-ups, and pull-ups were all tested to evaluate student progress. In April, the official test will be administered for students in grades three and four. Students who score in the top 85th percentile on all tests for their age and gender will earn the Presidential award. Students earning scores in the top 50th percentile will earn the national award.
Students in Alpha played Who Let the Dogs Out. In this game students, move about the gym using different locomotor skills. Some are designated to be squirrels and others, branches. When they hear the music, students must work cooperatively to build a tree for each squirrel.
Students in grades, K and 1 played New Jersey Coneball, Nine Ball soccer, and danced the Macarena and Cha Cha Slide.
