Heart Obstacle Course

This week our students will be taking part in the heart obstacle course. Students will be learning about the heart's function while traversing through the course. Students will act as oxygenated and non-oxygenated blood as they travel through the four chambers of the heart. An understanding of the heart will help students to understand the heart's function and the importance of staying heart healthy.

Jump Rope For Heart

With February being National Heart Month, our Greenbrier Gators will be participating in Jump Rope For Heart. Starting the first week in February, students will begin collecting donations to help the American Heart Association fight heart disease and stroke. Donations can also be made online if the student signs up for online donations. As a school, Greenbrier wants to raise as much money as possible to help fight heart disease and stroke, so get ready to be a part of a great cause!

Time for some Bball!!!

To start off the new year, we will be playing basketball. Students will be working on dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense. We will be playing modified games that focus on certain skills used in the game of basketball. Coming up after basketball in January, students will be learning about the heart and its functions while traveling through the heart obstacle course.

Floor Hockey Pictures!!

Floor Hockey!

For the next few weeks our Greenbrier Gators will be doing a unit on floor hockey, which is usually a fan favorite. Students will work on skills such as stick handling, passing and shooting. Floor hockey is also a great unit to teach about safety so we will definitely be touching on the aspects of safe and respectful play. Stay tuned for pictures.

Ignore your couch!!

During break, make sure that you find ways to remain active. Your couch will forgive you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!!

Fitness Week

This week we are doing various fitness stations including the climbing wall, Wii games, jump rope, and other exercise stations.  We are trying to counteract all those added calories that we consume over the holidays. Our students are really excited about being able to be active while still playing video games with Greenbrier's Nintendo Wii system. We have some pretty good dancers according to their scores on Just Dance Kids.

What's up next?

Next week we will be fitness testing to see how much progress we have made over the last month. Students will take part in tests that measure cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, and coordination. Our results will be used for students to be able to set goals for the next time fitness testing comes around.

High Jump and Rope Climbing.

Next week we will be testing our strength by climbing the rope.  We will also be practicing our high jumping skills onto the big red mat. Stay tuned for pictures of our athletes.
