Dr. Seuss takes over PE!
Kinder and 5th team up for a little soccer!
Class of the week!
Speedway fitness!
We hit the speedway this morning! After so many days off, we are shocking the system with a BIG wake up call!
Students have chosen a partner for this activity. One partner is running the speedway as fast as possible while the other partner is completing either an upper body task or a core task.
Working together on this activity is the only way to complete as many stations as possible! Check it Miss Silveria’s class tearing it up this morning!!
Something wrong with this picture!!
Energy Ball
We focused on three nutrients today and the energy we get from them:
Fats, Carbohydrates and Protein
We know that fats provide us with a lot of energy.
We know that Carbohydrates are quick energy.
We know that Proteins repair muscle and other tissues.
Each provide us with a different amount of energy.
Fats- 9 units of energy per gram.
Carbohydrates-4 units of energy per gram.
Proteins- 4 units of energy per gram.
We will be continuing on with the nutrients and identifying the foods that provide the body with each of these nutrients!
Class of the Week- Mrs. Ward’sFirst Grade!!
Mrs. Ward’s class easily gave the evidence to prove they had just completed a cardio respiratory activity…. They knew the difference between muscular strength and muscular endurance….and they participated in our sham battle fitness like pros! They were kind and respectful, they followed all rules with integrity and the intensity level was top notch!
I am so proud of this 1st grade class! Way to go!!!
