Speedminton...Anytime...Anywhere

Ultimate frisbee was a major success. All the students were active, having fun, and learning how to throw a frisbee the correct way. Sport Stacking is working wonders on increasing the students hand eye coordination. We use sport stacking as a way to increase faster reading due to the left to right motion of stacking the cups.

A new addition to Chets Creek is Speedminton. This activity improves on the students' hand eye coordination that was developed in sport stacking. It is an activity that not only aligns with the Sunshine State Standards, but can be used to relate to classroom topics such as science (Newton's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd laws) and math (measuring distances). We will continue to relate speedminton as well as other units to classroom subjects to help teach the whole student.

As many of you may know, the obesity epidemic is growing. Every Wednesday at Chets Creek, we participate in the President's Challenge to combat the obesity epidemic. We have stressed that having a healthy body promotes a longer lifespan, ability to do more physical activities at a higher age, a sound mind, and a sound emotional state. Posted below are the scores for the Presidential and National Awards. The top chart is the National and the bottom chart is the Presidential. Until next time stay active.
