Homework Assignments

Fitness points are due each week from 4th and 5th grade students.  These are activities that your child does at home for points that adds up to ten percent of their grade.  It should be a activity that lasts 30 minutes or more and two are required. So if your child goes to football practice for two hours every three nights a week, that is worth 3 points. Jumping rope for 10 minutes and playing basketball for 20 if a combination of activities that equals a fitness point. Any extra activity points done per week is counted as extra credit.

These activities are expected to be done over any days off that we have, but only two are required for a week.  I will accept fitness points no more than two weeks late. Fitness points are for the benefit of the student.  With P.E. only being one time a week, I feel that this is the best way to demonstrate to students that fitness is ongoing and up to them. It is a great way for them to learn that being physically active is one of the integral parts of growing into a responsible citizen/human being that lasts the rest of their life.
