At Heath we believe it is important to expose our students to new things. We make it our goal to find atleast one activity that each of our students is passionate about and will continue to participate in for a lifetime. In Grades K-2 we focus on the skill themes approach, teaching students locomotors and a variety of skills such as throwing, catching, and dribbling In Grades 3-5 we focus on application of the skills learned in grades K-2, introduction to game play, and on team building activities In Grades 6-8 one day a week we focus on teaching lifelong fitness skills. In the exercise Lab, students workout on rowing machines, spin bikes, and slide boards, while studying for academic classes. PowerPoint presentations are shown with vocabulary from academic classes. Students heart rate are projected on the wall by using Polar technology. By monitoring their heart rates students are able to earn badges for the amount of time they are in their zones. It is an educational tool as well as a great motivator for the kids. On the second day each week we focus on team building, learning new sports such as Qudditch, SatRyan, and Handball |
