Week 4 P.E. & Health Activities (April 13th thru April 17th)

Hi Newfield Students & Families,

In addition to what we already sent home, and the activities previously posted on this P.E. Blog, here are some workouts to help you to get in your "moving minutes." Remember to e-mail us with any questions or modifications you may need. We are here to help you!

Grades K-5: 
Spell Your Name The P.E. Way! 
Challenge yourself to spell just your first name. Can you spell your first name? You middle name? Your last name? Can you spell your whole name (first, middle AND last name?)

Be sure to have your water bottle handy! Listen to your body and take breaks and drink water when you need it.

Health Lesson: Grades K-5

"Bike Smart, Ride Safe!"

With warmer weather on its way, bike riding is a great way to get some fresh air, while also keeping physically active. It's especially important during this time to ask your grown-up when and where it is safe for you to ride your bike. It's important that we are all practicing good social distancing (that means only riding and hanging out with family members who live within your own home). Even if you aren't able to ride your bike right now, it's really important that you know how to keep yourself safe for a later time when you do go out for a ride.

Do you know how to be safe while riding your bike? Did you ever hear about the EYES-EARS-MOUTH rule? Watch the short video below, and learn all about bike safety! (The same safety rules apply if you are riding a scooter or skateboard, too!)

*There will be a section about bicycle safety (based on this video) on this week's P.E. & Health Activity Log. Be sure to pay good attention to the safety rules!

Remember to log your activities and minutes into your Weekly P.E. Activity & Health Log - which is posted in the blog above for Week 4 (April 13th thru April 17th). Please be sure your P.E. Activity & Health Log is submitted by Friday, April 3rd at 3:00 p.m.

NOTE: If the activity pictures/videos are not coming up large enough to view on your computer/tablet, just click on the three dots (right under the "x" at the top right hard of your screen). In this area, you will be given the option to "ZOOM" in and out to enlarge. If you are using your phone, simply pinch and zoom on the pictures to enlarge.
