Hello,

I’m attaching our Dearborn Elementary Fitness Test Criteria below. This can be used as a way to assess your physical fitness level while you’re at home. These skills could be practiced at the end of each week to see what level you’re at. If you don’t meet the level you want, that’s ok. Just keep working and your will eventually reach your desired level. Just keep exercising and having fun on a daily basis!

Since school is closed for the next month, I want to make sure you are staying active. Remember that you should get 60 minutes of physical activity each day. To help get you started, click the link below for daily physical challenges. Print the sheet and mark that you have completed the activity. Bring the paper to school when we get back.

The most important thing is to stay active. Keep your body moving!

During the drill, the students will get to pull a flag during the drill to try to stop the receiver from scoring a touchdown.
