Hope everyone had a wonderful spring break! I gave out a challenge to all my PE students at Freedom and I wanted to make sure you were included. The challenge is to create a new game for us to play during PE at Freedom. This is optional and after I get all the entries I will pick one new game for each grade level. You can email me your new game idea at aroyer@alpinedistrict.org I need lots of details and all the rules and equipment listed out. Make sure the directions are easy to understand. I have basically any equipment you can think of so if your game needs equipment to play with make sure you include it. If you want to email me your game idea I need it by May 1!

Sorry I missed. I was really sick. We have been doing circuit training. I have a CD that plays music for 1 minute and then pauses the music for 20 seconds. You could just set a timer for one minute and then pause for 20 seconds. Play music in the background. Do each exercise for 1 minute then take a breathing break or drink some water for the 20 second pause and then move on to the next exercise. I have easy to hard ways to do each exercise so choose one of those. Have a great week!
