Speed Stackers
This week I started a speed stacking unit at Truman. The students were nuts about it. The reason I love it is because it forces students to use both their left and right hand. Research has shown that this activates both the left and the right side of the brain. It also improves concentration and focus. Many students have asked about where to get speed stackers. You can click on the following website to learn more, or purchase stacks. http://www.speedstacks.com/
Then this link can show you how to build each stack. http://www.speedstacks.com/docs/SportStackingInstructions.pdf. Enjoy!
Welcome back to Truman for the 2012-13 year! I am so excited to be here at Truman again. I am the P.E. teacher at Truman on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I work with the all of the grade levels, and I see each class once a week.
I want to thank the Truman staff, students, and parents for the overwhelming support of the PE program I have received so far. I am also excited to announce that we recieved a grant from NFL Play 60 and the Dairy Council of Utah for $2000 for healthy eating, and excercise. We had a big kick-off assembly, and we are excited for all of the equpment and opportunities it opens up for us this year.
I am excited about the 2012-13 school year. I think as a school and a community we can do a lot to make our lives healthier through exercise and proper nutrition. We are going to continue to work towards being a Gold Medal School this year. This is a program in the state of Utah that helps schools build healthy habits, and recognizes students and schools for their hard work towards these goals. Last year we earned the bronze medal, and we are striving for silber this year. Please visit the website and read more about it. http://health.utah.gov/obesity/gms/index.html
We are also a NFL Play 60 school. This is a program through the National Football League that also tries to get students to build healthy habits by exercising at least 60 minutes a day, and making wiser food choices. This program has an interactive dashboard for schools, and students where you can track your own progress towards the school goals, and see how the school is doing as a whole. This website is very informative. Please sign up and make the pledge to be healthier this year right on their website. http://www.fueluptoplay60.com .
We are also excited to be a part of champion village now. Champion Village is an online portal that gives students a chance to earn points for their physical fitness, record their healthy food and exercise habits, and build a custom character. This website provides parents with the chance to keep up with what their students are doing, monitor their progress, and check off their physical activities. This is all in an effort to change the online gaming of the students into a more active process. Check it all out at http://www.championvillage.com.
Please contact me if you have any questions, concerns, ideas, or would like to help. I appreciate the support.
