Started with our warm-up and they ran 4 laps outside. I have to say that almost everyone ran the whole thing. As I was watching, there were a few that had to walk a little but then they caught their breath and continued. Good Job Jr. High!!
I decided that since they have been working hard every week, it was time to have some fun and play......
What a work-out that was!!! I don't know which was harder, doing an actual workout or dodge-ball :)Thanks Mr. Mortensen for helping out
Wednesday Oct. 24, 2012: South School 2:45-3:30
We started out with our warm-up inside the gym, thanks Mrs. Hawk for warming them up, and then we went outside and ran our 3 laps.
Then the group was divided into 8 groups and each group started out at a station. The stations were placed around the playground area.
If you were at START, you then would JOG to Station 1 where you did 20 JUMPING JACKS.
To get to Station 2 you would HOP and then do 10 SQUATS.
To get to Station 3 you would WALK and then do 25 FRONT KICKS.
To get to Station 4 you would GALLOP and do 10 PUSHUPS.
To get to Station 5 you would JUMP and do 10 LUNGES.
To get to Station 6 you would WALK and do 8 JUMP SQUATS.
To get to Station 7 you would JOG and then do 10 TRICEP DIPS.
You then would have to HOP to Station 8 and do 15 CALF RAISES and then
GALLOP back to START and REPEAT.
The South kids worked very hard this week and I don't think I heard anyone complain so next Wednesday, I told them that we could play Kickball and have a FUN WEDNESDAY. I am so proud of all these kids and from the looks, I think they are having a good time as well.
Thanks to Mrs. Hawk and Mr. Mortensen for helping out.
Friday Oct. 24, 2012: YMCA Basketball
We started out with a snack of grapes and cuties. The kids really enjoyed the fresh fruits.
Then the kids were split into 3 groups.
*Group 1 was lead by Mr. Nick who did a session on push-ups.
* Group 2 was lead by Mr. Daniel and he had the kids do a ladder workout.
* Group 3 was lead by Miss Jen who had the kids work on abs.
After that the kids went with the same group and worked on some basketball drills. After the drills the kids got to play a game of basketball. We had 4 teams and the winners of the teams got to play the winner of the other team and the losers got to play the losers. I think they all had fun and Mr. Nick had a great talk with the kids about teamwork and when you are on a team how it just can't be you, you have to use your team mates to pass the ball, have someone down by the hoop and most of all, work together. They all had fun and enjoyed themselves.
Thanks Mr. Nick, Mr. Daniel and Miss Jen
