Building Our Muscles!

We are in full on fitness mode here at LCE! From kindergarten all the way to sixth grade!
Kindergarten through Second grade has been running relays, working on baton hand offs as well as strengthening their arms and legs with push ups, mountain climbers, squats, lunges and sit ups!

In 3rd through 6th, We are conducting Fitness Testing. Our theme is " Are You Stronger Than a Fifth Grader?" Fifth graders have presidential fitness testing this year. I decided to test each grade this year to see where they measure for certain exercises. They are tested on the Mile Run, Push ups, Sit ups, Trunk Lift, and 50 Yard dash. 

Be A Heart Hero!

     On Friday, March 27th, our school is proud to partner with the American Heart Association through Jump For Heart! This community service project teaches our students the importance of heart health while having a great time jumping rope in PE class! Students also have the opportunity to raise funds for the American Heart Association to fund research and educational materials to lower the risks of heart disease and stroke.

   

      To join our team go to www.heart.org/jump and register now!

The kids are pumped and excited to participate in this event. Last Friday, my jump for heart representative Kyle came to our school for our LCE Jump For Heart kick off day and spoke to the kids about the event, showed them some great videos about a couple of kids who have had heart transplants, and a video that shows all the great prizes you can receive when raising money!

Here is an overview of photos I have taken over the last few months of activities during PE.
Activities include: Relay Races, Football games, Potato Sack Races, and Hula Hoops.

February Madness

    Normally the big basketball games happen during March Madness, but at LCE our madness is in February. The kids are always pumped up during tournament time. We started our basketball games at the beginning of the month and I wanted to share a few of the names the kids chose for their teams. They always make me laugh and I am quite impressed with their creativity.
3rd- Flaming Lunch Men and Shot- Makers.
4th- Dunken Swishers and The Sparking Dynamite.
5th- The Hippo Hoops and Donut Dunkers.
6th- The Spicy Kachickins and The Helpful Honda Men.
 
   1st and 2nd grade had a chance to practice basketball skills and they enjoyed playing basketball wall ball, sharks and minnows, and rings of fire dribbling.
