5th Graders working together on vocabulary.
💥 Ninja Jump Rope Challenge + Golf Skills in PE! 🏃⛳
Our 4th and 5th graders crushed it in the Ninja Jump Rope Challenge! Students worked hard to complete consecutive jumps and advance through the jump-rope levels: 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200. Each time a student reached a new level, they proudly signed their name on the matching poster in the gym.
We even had a few teachers jump into the fun!
We also introduced golf skills to our 2nd–5th graders through the First Tee program. Students practiced putting, and our 4th and 5th graders explored driving and chipping. It was a few weeks of building coordination, confidence, and new skills!
