This document contains the fitness testing standards you were being tested on in Phys Ed class during the school year. The documents is broken down by grade levels and gender. There are a few differences in scores between boys vs girls and in each grade level the number of repetitions for each exercise increase. The document shows sit and reach and chin ups which we cannot do without the equipment but you can test yourselves on the jump rope, sit ups and push ups as well as the running requirements. Test yourselves first then practice each day and the following week test yourself again to see if you improved! Good luck and stay active! Any questions just e-mail me or comment in the blog and I will respond. My e-mail is : lesniaj@dearbornschools.org

If you’re anything like me basketball is a big part of your life and currently with this virus situation there is no basketball taking place. I miss the game very much, I miss playing it with the kids in gym class, I miss watching it on tv each night. Fortunately, I found a new basketball app for your phone or tablet or i-pad that has a ton of skills drills and tips to help keep your game sharp and skills in tact while being away during this closure. The app is called Homecourt. It is a free app you can download to any electronic device that will teach you some skills drills and give you some things to practice in your backyard or driveway. It is a free app and it’s easy to use. It has demonstration and instructional videos on it and is very kids/user friendly. The weather is getting warmer so download this app and get out and play.

This post is to encourage parents and students to visit a youtube site called Cosmic Kids. This site is great for students of all grade levels but it is primarily targeted towards students in Kindergarten through Third grade. The videos are engaging and simple to follow along with. The movements can be performed by kids of all ability and agility levels. They are Yoga videos that promote mindfulness and whole body wellness as well as balance and flexibility. The videos are a great way to start your day or to be performed after lunch and or during a brain break from your online studies. Hope you enjoy them as much as me and my niece did. We did the Frozen one of course.
