October Newsletter
Fitnessgrams, which are print outs of your child’s fitness scores, are coming home this week. The fitness tests include: Mile run/walk, Pacer (Aerobic capacity), Curl Ups and Push Ups (Muscle Strength and Endurance), Trunk Extension and Sit & Reach (Flexibility). These components of physical fitness are important because of their relationship to overall health and optimal function. For each of the above tests, a Healthy Fitness Zone has been identified depending on the child’s age. This is a national norm for all children of that age and means that is the score found necessary for good health and improved function.
Look over the Fitnessgram and see where your child needs improvement. During each PE class the students work on improving their fitness. Please encourage them to do their best and work on the suggested exercises at home.
