Enrichment Highlight- Physical Education

Physical Education- Meagan Leopard

Exercise is a lifesaver in physical education! During class this year, we have learned about our circulatory, digestive, and respiratory system; the food pyramid; fitness; and sports, such as soccer and basketball. Because it is important to me to teach your children healthy habits, from their food choices to exercising, we are now preparing and practicing for the Presidential Fitness Challenge, a program that encourages all Americans to make being active part of their everyday lives (see www.presidentschallenge.org for more information). The Challenge includes six events: sit and reach, shuttle run, curl ups, pull ups, push ups and the mile run. I have encouraged the students to prepare and practice at home as well! Each student will receive a certificate stating which level they accomplished in the challenge.

Please don’t forget to have your children wear tennis shoes on P.E. days! They will continue to need coats as well, because we always go out as long as the temperature is above freezing. I am having so much fun teaching your children about the wonderful bodies that God has created for them!
