4th Grade Physical Fitness Testing Begins This Week

     Starting in November the 4th grade students will begin their physical fitness testing.  All fourth grade students in Connecticut are tested in the following areas:  muscular strength (push-ups), muscular endurance (sit-ups), cardiovascular endurance (PACER run), and flexibility (sit and reach test).
   
     The students have been practicing and preparing themselves for the test each week of class.  Our class warm-up consists of jumping jacks, high-knees, push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and planks.  These are all designed to get the students prepared for their test.

     We encourage the students to practice these at home!
