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!
