WELCOME BACK TO 2012!

Let's Move! January's highlights in the Hive include practicing motor skills like: shooting a basketball, double dutch jumping, soccer dribbling, volleyball bumping and much more. We'll also take a closer look at earlier fitness data and set realistic, measurable, personal goals. Speaking of goals, so far we have 43% of our 5th graders at standard on the mile run. Remember, minimum standard for boys is 9:30 and girls is 10:00 or faster. Click here for more details. Also, be sure to see this month's homework for extra cardio practice!

NUTRITION-THE INGREDIENTS 4 LIFE

Healthy eating is the key to performing better, both physically and academically. Over the next two weeks, you will learn more about the foods that you put in your body. What are calories? How many do we need? What foods provide the most nutrient-rich calories? How do you read food labels? These are just a few of the learning targets that we will cover over the next 4 lessons. Our nutrition unit will culminate with a special "smoothie day". All students will get to taste fresh fruits and vegetables in a fun and creative way.

BAGLEY ON BIKES

Bicycle and pedestrian safety is the main theme in H&F this month. All students, K-5^th, will receive three, 35-minute bike lessons that emphasize safe riding habits on the back playground. Learning goals include: 1. How to properly wear a helmet and other safety checks to consider before you ride. 2. Basic hand signals and other “Rules of the Road”. 3. Strategies to becoming a defensive rider!  Plenty of bikes and helmets will be provided, but students are welcome to bring their own. Also, following this unit, students can take part in our DB Bike Loan Program. This program allows all students to continue to work on their riding skills at home and in the community during the school year. Thanks for all the bike donations and to all the volunteers for making this unit a huge success for our kids!
