Turkey Time

Stuff the Turkey: If the pilgrim tags you...

You will need to go to the side line & "stuff the turkey".

(Throwing a bean bag into the crate)

Turkey Scramble: Each team needs to spell the word TURKEY without finding the gobble gobble card.

Speed Stacks

It's that time of the year again...
Speed Stacking is a favorite among all the Bowlesburg kids. Once kids move into first grade, Speed Stacking is introduced. If you wold like to purchase some stacks please send your order form back to school before Thanksgiving break.

Week TEN

Halloween Mystery Match: Students are given an object and they have to search for their match under the cones.

Halloween/Fall objects that must be found!

Stealing from the Pumpkin Patch: Both teams need to steal the other team's pumpkins & not risk losing their pumpkins in the process.

The most popular of all parachute games is Para-jaws or "Lifeguard" as the kids like to call this thrilling game. Under the deep blue sea (parachute) there are Jaws 1 & 2 waiting to pull unexpected beach goers into the deep waters. Lifeguards are waiting closely to pull the victims to safety.

October Fun

We started playing with the parachute this week. This is always a favorite activity with all of the students.
Parachute week:
1. Learn cooperative strategies and team-building skills.
2. Actively participate in parachute games and challenges to utilize learned skills and develop physical fitness.
3. Have fun being physically fit.

Super Fit Class

Each month I will choose a class to be the, "Super Fit Class" of the month. I have an entire bulletin board dedicated to this class. If your child's class is nominated they may bring pictures of themselves playing some sort of sport and I will display the picture on the board.

Week Two

We had a class meeting outside to discuss the Presidential Challenge categories. This week the students are getting timed in the shuttle run and the mile. First graders will run 1/4 mile, second graders will run 1/2 mile, third and fourth graders will run a full mile. Before we start the mile we practiced pacing ourselves, taking breaks, not running fast & breathing.

The following three pictures show a student getting timed in the shuttle run.

The Physical Fitness Program (Presidential Fitness) includes five events that measure muscular strength/endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, speed, agility and flexibility. This program helps assess the current fitness level of youth and encourages them to stay active.
