1st & 2nd grades used fitness puzzles for their warm-up. We then played an activity called Cookie Monster. Here we practiced and learned the skills of collecting, carrying, as well as, invading and avoiding other people in general space.

3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade used resistance bands to improve their muscular strength and endurance fitness. We then ended class with an activity called Battleship. Here we used the skills of rolling and throwing, as well as, discussed the concept of offensive and defensive strategies.
