All Grades: Week of THANKSGIVING!!!

This **very short** week in PE, we participated in the Great Turkey Award.  The activity is essentially a color by number turkey, with each turkey feather corresponding to a number, color, AND an exercise.

Young Fives - 2nd graders do this in a structured centers format.  They rotate to stations, participating in each center for about 1 minute.  Then they color in the corresponding feather for that center, sit and point to the next center.  Rotate, and repeat. :)  Centers include:  butterfly stretch, push-ups or ABC strong soldiers, jump rope, jumping jacks, and run laps.

3rd - 5th graders experience a free flowing centers format.  They can move at their own pace, with a small group or individually if they choose.  Centers include:  sit and reach (practice for fitness testing), push-ups or ABC strong soldiers, sit-ups, jump rope forward and backward, run laps, and jumping jacks.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of the Haisley community!!
