February News

Fitness Calendars

February is American Heart Health Month, therefore, to show our support Emerald Elementary participates in Jump Rope for Heart! Student have already brought home informational pamphlets. If you need an additional sheet, I have extras! Also, JRFH is online, feel free to check out our Emerald page at www2.heart.org/goto/EmeraldElementary. This year’s theme is scare squad to help scare away heart disease! Our annual jump-a-thon will be the second week of February, as always the American Heart Association has donated some cool prizes for the longest jumper in each class! Last year Emerald raised over $2,000, can we do it again?

Kdg-2nd Graders

We are kicking off this month working on our jumping skills. At this age, students can very easily become frustrated with jumping rope. It takes a great deal of practice and repetition to become successful. Jumping rope is very similar to riding a bike, most students don’t just get on and ride it the first time. If your son/daughter seems to be struggling help them jump for 1-2 minutes every night and in no time they will be improving! The last part of the month will be dedicated to teamwork/cooperative activities and other activities that work on our cardiovascular endurance for heart month!

3rd-5th Graders

Upper elementary will also be working on jump rope and other jumping activities such as tinikling during the first part of the month! We have begun working on jump rope ninja which seems to be a big hit! Ask your son/daughter what color belt they have made it to! The middle part of February will be dedicated to building our teamwork abilities participating in cooperative games with our classmates. We will finish off the month, and head into March with our Frisbee unit!

February fitness calendars are due March 2nd. Please be sure to have a parent signature and bring them in ASAP to receive your tickets for the upcoming drawing!
