During the month of January, we will be covering our
"Basketball Skills" unit. Students will
work on a variety of skills related to dribbling, passing
and shooting through a series of ball handling drills,
activities and lead up games. In addition, we will be
teaching and reinforcing game rules, boundaries, strategies
and the health-related areas of fitness incorporating
strength, flexibility, speed, balance, coordination, power,
and reaction time involved in basketball.
In
October, we completed our fall pre-test FITNESSGRAM assessments
and our FITNESSGRAM PARENT REPORTS will be going home during
the month of Janaury. This is a health-related
fitness assessment that looks at the areas of fitness
related to body composition, cardio-respiratory fitness,
muscular strength and muscular endurance, and flexibility.
Please look for the Fitnessgram Report and please review it
with your child.
We will do this health-related fitness assessment again in the spring and another
report comparing fall and spring scores will go home with each student's final report card
in June.
As
always, we will continue to encourage all of our students to
strive for at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily
(outside of school activities). In addition, please
feel free to contact us throughout the school year with any
questions and/or concerns you may have and we always look
forward to working with your student.
