Elementary PE/Health
Welcome to the Elementary Physical Education pages. Mr. Rosatelli and Mr. Hopkins hope that you are all well and finding ways to be active while at home during this difficult time. We wanted to give you some ideas of ways that you can stay active each week until we get back into school.
For our last week of school, enjoy the weather and get outside and move. If there was an activity or two you enjoyed since we have been home go ahead and do again. I have also put two workout videos from GoNoodle Up. Have a wonderful Summer and stay Active.

Challenge!!!
Include children in meal planning, preparation, and clean up while teaching them writing, math, reading, and science.
- Reading/Writing: Ask your kids to make a list of what’s in the pantry and refrigerator. Then, have them look through cookbooks or online recipes sites to find meals and snacks that use up what is on hand. Have them share their breakfast, lunch, or dinner meal ideas.
- Math: Find math in measuring spoons and cups, counting out numbers of ingredients, taking stock of pantry items, or planning the time it will take to prepare, cook, eat, and clean up a meal.
- Science: Get kids involved in baking bread, cooking an egg, or creating a homemade salad dressing—then, search the internet to discover the science behind why ingredients change when they are combined, heated, or blended
- Think nutrition. The healthiest meals emphasize whole grains, vegetables, and fruits—serve them in the greatest amounts. Meat portions should be smaller—this will save money and help keep dietary saturated fat in check.
Who: Students (Elementary and Secondary) + we encourage family members to join in the fun!

Here are a couple of examples of SMART goals around nutrition that can be achieved at school and at home.
-
- S- Specific -Who? You or you and your family. What? Trying new healthy foods. Where? At school or at home. Why? During national nutrition month, you want to explore new foods and eat healthier.
- M- Measurable- 1 per week (That means 4 new vegetables and/or fruit by May 31).
- A- Achievable- 1 new vegetable or fruit per week – this could be in the lunch line at school or as your grocery shopping with family for lunch or snacks.
- R- Relevant- March was National Nutrition Month and is a perfect time to try new healthy foods for April and May
- T- Timely- The month of May is almost here, allowing you a manageable time frame to try something new!
