We have been doing some Baseball Moves lately in gym class. Hitting a ball off a cone, Overhand Throw, and Catching are some of the skills we have been working on. We are going to pretend that the ball has been hit and we are going to catch it. This is called FIELDING.
Hello Boys and Girls!
Welcome back to our online learning for gym class! Please check here daily for the activities and challenges of the day. All of these activities can be completed inside or outside with objects that you have around your home. Let's get started!
Find 6 objects and place them in a line spread out. Stuffed animals, rolled up socks, or scrunched up pieces of paper will do. Click on the colored words and follow along with me.
Find a large space outside or inside where you won't bump into anything. Make a large 'V' with 2 skipping ropes or pieces of string. How many times can you leap over the widest part of the 'V' without touching it?
Try to be active for 1 hour each day! You will feel stronger and happier when you do activities such as bike riding, walking, playing tag, running around your yard, and skipping.
Our Jump Rope for Heart activities will begin tomorrow! If the weather is nice, you can jump outside!
Jump Rope for Heart Fundraising will look a little different this year due to the pandemic. All donations can be made online and will go directly to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. There is no competition for prizes – students will simply make family aware of their jump rope activities and advise friends and family that should they wish to do so, they can make a donation on behalf of Citadel Park School at:
This link will bring you to the CPS school’s fundraising page where you simply need to click “Donate Now” button to donate to the school.
Skipping is an excellent physical activity to get the heart pumping. Indeed this is one of several ways to make your heart healthy and integrate ‘EASY’ healthy habits into your lifestyle.
