Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

This morning, Kindergarten through 2nd grade students played a game in P.E. called, “do you want to build a snowman.” The object was to run down the length of the gym, retrieve a “body part” of a snowman, and build him, piece-by piece. Students took turns grabbing hula hoops, cones, balls, and various pieces of equipment to complete their creations.

Students also competed in a reindeer pull. Using pool noodles and scooters, teams raced each “sleigh” to deliver Santa’s toys. Santa himself also joined in on some exercise.

All elementary students, Kindergarten through fifth grade, attend physical education class daily. In addition to recess, this daily activity helps strengthen the body and mind. P.E. is an integral part of educating the whole child and reinforces the importance of a healthy lifestyle. P.E. is proven to boost confidence, reduce stress, teach important lessons of teamwork, and contribute to increased attention and concentration in the classroom. Saint James School is committed to investing in the wellbeing of each student. Games and activities like this are just a glimpse into the fun we have each day!

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Fitmas! #WeAreSaintJamesSchool
