OMIS PE: Eagles On The Move…

THIS WEEK WE HAVE BEEN ADMINISTERING OUR FALL FITNESS TEST TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.  THE TEST IS MADE UP OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:

VSIT-TEST FOR FLEXIBILITY
PUSH UPS-TEST FOR UPPER BODY STRENGTH/ENDURANCE
CURL UPS-TEST FOR ABDOMINAL STRENGTH/ENDURANCE
PACER-TEST FOR CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE WHILE TEACHING CONCEPT OF PACING YOURSELF WHEN RUNNING FOR DISTANCE

WE ENCOURAGE ALL OF OUR STUDENTS TO DO THEIR BEST ON EACH ITEM.  WE ALSO TALK ABOUT TAKING YOUR SCORE AND USING THAT AS A MOTIVATOR TO SET PERSONAL GOALS IN AN EFFORT TO BETTER YOUR SCORE IN THE SPRING.

Screening for all 5th Graders will be on Thursday, September 24, 2015.

INFORMATION FOR ALL 5TH GRADERS WILL BE SENT HOME FRIDAY THE 11TH.

WE ARE KICKING OFF OUR YEAR IN PE WITH SOME FUN AND EXCITING GAMES AND ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE EACH STUDENT TO ACCEPT NEW CHALLENGES WITH CONFIDENCE AND ENTHUSIASM.  THE FOLLOWING CONCEPTS ARE BEING HIGHLIGHTED EACH DAY THROUGH SMALL AND LARGE GROUP ACTIVITIES: COOPERATION, COMMUNICATION, COMMITMENT, CONTRIBUTION AND TRUST.  THIS YEAR WE ARE ALSO TEACHING THE CONCEPT OF GRIT(THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT ANY CHALLENGE AND PUSH THROUGH IT, CONSTANTLY STRIVING TO GO FURTHER WITH EACH ATTEMPT). 

WE WANT TO WELCOME BACK ALL OF OUR RETURNING EAGLES AND SAY A SPECIAL WELCOME TO ALL OF OUR NEW FRIENDS.  WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN INCREDIBLE YEAR IN PE!

WE HOPE ALL OF OUR OMIS KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE AN AWESOME SUMMER.  WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF OUR RETURNING STUDENTS AND ALL OF OUR NEW STUDENTS ENTERING THE 4TH GRADE.  

GOOD LUCK TO OUR 5TH GRADERS AS YOU MOVE ON TO YOUR MIDDLE SCHOOL ADVENTURE!
