I have decided that I am going to hold off on choosing a specific fitness program. Instead, I am going to choose specific activities to test my students on and use the programs I have researched as guidelines. Once I see how that goes, I can further investigate which program I am going to use to track my students progress. For right now, I will give each student and index card to record their results and I will keep them in my office. On Monday, students in PE class will run the timed mile and perform the pull-up test.. On Tuesday, they will be tested on sit-ups and push-ups, as well as the shuttle run. This takes care of only 1/4 of the school so I will be testing every Friday for this month with a different group of students. The 5th and 6th graders seem really excited for this fitness test, where as only a small handful, of 7th and 8th graders seem excited. The level of excitement makes me want to use the President's Fitness Challenge so that they receive and award or a badge. I could also create my own award to give to them. Has anyone done that before?
