Every grade level will be taking some type of running test this marking period. Kindergarten will be timed on a 1/4 run, Grades 1-3 will be a 1/2 mile and Grades 4-5 will be timed on the mile run. Students should be running at home to increase their endurance to help with their times. The more they run for distance–not speed–, the stronger they will become. Also, Y5s and Kindergartners should be practicing their skipping. This is a skill that all of them should master by this year. Please help them at home with this.
OF COURSE, PLEASE REMEMBER GYM SHOES ON GYM DAYS!! PLEASE EITHER HAVE VELCRO SHOES OR DOUBLE TIE LACES TO AVOID TRIPPING WHILE RUNNING.
