Physical Activity Participation

GWCP students have created Fitness Days every Thursday! Fitness days include sit ups, push ups, pacer test, stations, mile run, and Insanity. Students are getting active for one hour and they love it!

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

This program will be every Thursday in all Physical Education classes. This will be a regular activity for all the Physical Education classes for years to come.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Students worked together by holding one another's feet in order to properly perform the sit ups. After one student finishes, then the students switch, which allows the other student to complete the sit ups.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Students now know that every Thursday is a Fitness day. They come prepared and walk in the gym asking and anticipating which fitness activity we will be performing that day!
