Hooray! The first Dolphin Running Club meeting was a huge success. Thank you to all the energetic students who came out eager to start their day with exercise. A big thanks to all the parent volunteers that helped make the morning run smoothly. I can't wait for next Wednesday!

Students in 3-5 grade continue to work on basketball skills such as dribbling, bounce passing and shooting. In conjunction with this unit they are also taking their Fitness Gram Tests. Next week we will wrap up these topics and move on to football skills such as throwing, catching and kicking.

Students in K-2 began working on ball control skills such as bouncing, catching and dribbling. Next week they will move on to passing.

All students have been exploring the fitness components MUSCULAR STRENGTH and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE. The students worked on recognizing that 12 or more repetitions of an exercise with a less than maximum force improves muscular endurance while muscular strength involves maximum force and a smaller number of repetitions.
