APRIL/MAY SPORT:
We are starting Floor Hockey! Basic skills include dribbling, trapping, passing, and shooting. Students are graded on these skills before playing the games. In May, we'll begin forming teams and starting play, ending with a tournament game with the top teams!
APRIL/MAY MONTHLY CHALLENGE:
HAND WALKS AND SKI HOPS:
For hand walks, students put their hands on the floor and "walk" with their hands to a count of 5. They do a push-up. Then they walk their hands back toward their toes and stand up. K-2 do 5 of them, and 3-8 do 10 of them.
For ski hops, students bend at their waists, putting their right foot behind the left. They hop to the right, putting their left foot behind their right, and swinging their arms to the right. Then they hop to the left, putting their right foot behind the left, and swinging their arms to the left. Grades K-2 do 5 of these, and grades 3-8 do 10.
Even as school is coming to an end until September, make sure your child gets daily exercise, using any of these exercises or the thousands of exercises that can be found online! Make family exercise a priority in your household!
ENJOY THE SUMMER! KEEP PRAYING AND EXERCISING EVERYDAY!
