Middle School Unit Days & Elementary Climbing & Fitness

For the next three months, all middle school students will be doing a three unit rotation between the rock climbing wall, badminton, and the fitness center.  Each student will be doing a 7 day rotation with each activity.  

With Coach Springer, students work on team building and then learn how to belay and climb in 7th & 8th grade.  The students work together in teams to help each other climb and belay using the harnesses and ropes.  5th and 6th grade get to traverse across the wall.  

With Coach Metovic, students set fitness goals and work to improve their health-related fitness components.  They do this by lifting weights and doing fitness circuits using proper technique with the weights and machines in the fitness center. 

With Ms. Hendricks, students learn badminton skills and rules.  At the end of the unit, the students participate in the doubles badminton tournament against their peers. 

Below is a video of the students in action during all three units.

All elementary students have been staying active by doing fitness and the climbing wall.  It is a great way for them to stay active throughout class.  Many of them are sweaty and red by the time class is over.  Below is a video of the students in action.
