The Cups Are Here!!

Project Fit America is a national agency that works with schools and educators to create new opportunities for kids to be active, fit, and healthy.   This organization has all kinds of curriculum materials and equipment packages developed to help keep kids moving in physical education.  We have recently received our set of 1000 cups to use in phys ed to "try out" this curriculum.  Below are several pictures of the 4th Grade participating in the Double Track, Cup Stack Race.
Students had to jog, skip, or walk  three laps in order to earn five cups for their team stack.

All cups earned through laps on the track or exercise breaks that happen every five minutes were taken back to the team in order see which team could build the biggest stack.


And the team with the most cups standing at the end of the class period was...






As you can see, we had a lot of cardiovascular activity, cooperation, and cup stacking fun with our new curriculum!
