PE
Monday 6/1
WARM-UP:
AVENGERS WARM-UP (CLICK HERE!)
If any exercise is too difficult, substitute it with something you can do. You can also walk or jog in place. The goal is to be moving for the entire warm-up
FITNESS ACTIVITY: Water Bottle Throw
Set up a throwing line about 8 feet away from your target
Have a ball or sockball to throw with
Stack two buckets or have a chair to put an empty water bottle on
An empty bottle of juice, gallon of water, or gallon of milk, etc. works better as they are bigger targets
Set your timer for 2 minutes
Stand behind the throwing line
Do 5 jumping jacks
Throw at the target
Retrieve your ball
Do 5 jumping jacks and throw again
See how many times you can hit the target in 2 minutes! Try for your best score!
TUESDAY 6/2
FITNESS ACTIVITY: Build Your Own Obstacle Course
Create your own obstacle course today. Work on your SPEED and AGILITY, JUMPING and LANDING, and BALANCE and COORDINATION.
This can be done inside or outside!
Be creative with obstacles (PLEASE ASK YOUR PARENTS BEFORE USING ANYTHING)
HERE ARE A FEW IDEAS...
Use different locomotor movement patterns (Skipping, hopping, jumping, running, crawling, etc.)
Use obstacles that you can crawl under or over, run around or through, jump onto or over, walk across on your feet or crawl across on your hands and feet.
Push, pull or carry something heavy
Use a pillow case for a sack race part of the course
Time yourself with a stopwatch. Set your own personal record. Challenge other family members.

"SUMMER GOODBYE" from Mr. Short
PUSH-UP FORM
SQUAT FORM
THURSDAY 6/4
SUMMER STRENGTH CHALLENGE:
Push-Ups & Squats EVERYDAY!
WHO'S UP FOR A CHALLENGE?????
Can you complete ONE set of as many push-ups and as many squats that you can do in-a-row EACH DAY of the summer?
Can you beat MR. SHORT?
You will add one rep to each movement each week.
TEST YOURSELF
How many push-ups can you do in-a-row using perfect form?
Your body should be completely straight ("Head-to-Heal, Straight-as-Steel")
Your shoulders should be in front of your finger tips
Your chest should touch the surface your hands are on.
If you can't go all the way to the floor, place your hands on a higher surface than your feet like a coffee table or the arm of a couch to make the difficulty appropriate for you
How many squats can you do in-a-row using perfect form?
Hold your arms straight out in front of your body for balance
Place your feet a little wider than your shoulders (imagine you are holding a beach ball between your knees)
Keeping your hands pointed straight ahead, squat down like you are going to sit on a beam right behind your feet.
Your hips should go as low as your knees.
HOW TO COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE
Let's pretend that I was able to do 3 push-ups and 14 squats in-a-row. Those are the numbers that I will start with the first week, and I will add one rep each week.
Pick one day to rest each week. Every other day you will complete one set of push-ups and one set of squats.
In the first week, I will do 3 push-ups and 14 squats on each day except my day of rest.
In the second week, I will do 4 push-ups and 14 squats in a row.
Keep adding one rep each week.
As weeks go on, if I can't complete all of the reps in-a-row anymore then break them up into smaller sets. (For example: If I am up to 12 push-ups and I can't do that many in-a-row, then I can do a set of 6, rest, and then complete another set of 6)
FRIDAY 6/5
HAPPY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!
I want to wish you all a healthy, safe, and fun summer!
I can't wait to see you all next school year!
