P.E. Update
Springtime in P.E....outside activities, fitness gram, glow run, and so much more! We are really seeing improvement in the CE cheetahs with their motor skills. Push-ups, sit-ups, burpees and our TABATA jogging are improving each and every day. The students have worked very hard on their endurance this year and it is showing on how they are performing in their pacer practice testing. The fitness gram testing is just for grades 3-5. One module of the fitness gram is the pacer test. Some schools call it the beep test. It is where a student stands on a line and runs 20 meters (a lap) to the line at the other end of the gym. After 7 "laps" the time between beeps/sounds decreases. The object is to test the endurance of the student and see how long he/she can run. It's not a race to see how fast. It's all about endurance. We have been practicing this the past couple weeks and will begin the real deal next week. We had a 5th grade student break the Cimarron record with 75 laps! Mrs. Stevens has never had anyone in all her years of teaching get that high of a number. She was very proud and impressed!
We are also gearing up for the Glow Run. We hope to see all the cheetahs and their families at the run. This has become an annual event at Cimarron, and it always brings lots of fun and excitement to our school and community. So please join us if you can!
Our K-2 PE students are also working very hard on their TABATA jogging and exercises. Some of their favorites include line jumps, burpees, supermans and jump ropes. Kinder cheetahs have really enjoyed cup stacking games and critter craze! They are not just playing games but working on their cardiovascular, and gross motor skills while laughing and having fun.
As you can tell, PE is full of excitement, fun and lots of exercise. And we enjoy sharing our day with all the CE cheetahs.
