October News

October has proven to begin itself in a very busy way!  This month in PE/Fitness we are beginning to increase our cardiovascular endurance, wrap up our beginning of the year FitnessGram testing, teach the proper technique of throwing a frisbee while playing frisbee golf, build teamwork and encouragement with obstacles on the rock wall, as well as get our 5th graders geared up for Collin County Adventure Camp through camp like activities.

Typically the month of October can really be summed up in one word....SUGAR!  With that beloved by many October holiday quickly approaching, we wanted to take the time to remind everyone that with candy comes carbohydrates.  Please check out the October Healthy Zone Newsletter link below to read up on the truth about carbohydrates as well as some youth fit tips!

Finally, I want to send a BIG thank you to the dozens of families who have completed their September Fitness Calendar and returned it signed to their fitness teacher.  It is thrilling to see students being active outside of school and encouraging their parents to join in on some active fun. Please see the October Fitness Calendar below.  It arrived home with your child early this week. Remember.....keep moving cubs!
