First graders are playing oxygen transport. They travel from the heart and lungs at the center of the gym to deliver oxygen to the muscles for exercise. Students take an exercise card to the muscle (hula-hoop) and do the exercise until their partner returns to switch roles.

Fifth graders are learning their muscles and bones by completing a dribbling relay that requires them to assemble and label muscle and bone puzzles.

Kindergarten students completed a scooter relay requiring them to collect and sort healthy and unhealthy foods in each food group.

Fourth graders playing macronutrient tag. Students tagged by the blue noodle do four pushups for calories per gram in protein. Students tagged by green do four curlups for calories per gram in carbohydrate. Students tagged by red do nine jumping jacks for calories per gram in fat

Fifth graders completed a scooter relay collecting food cards. Once they collected the cards, they had to calculate the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for each Macronutrient. If they went over their RDA, food had to be removed. Their goal was to build a healthy meal.

Fourth graders played a modified basketball game using playbooks they designed. This project-based learning experieced involved designing a playbook with a box offense and zone or man-to-man defense. It was a lot of fun watching the students use the playbooks in a real game.

One of the fifth grade teams is practicing a play from the playbook they designed.

4th and 5th graders participated in project-based learning by designing their own basketball playbook using a box offense, zone defense, and man-to-man defense. The playbooks were used in a modified game.

Third graders are learning how to shoot a basketball. They are playing a game called hotspots that requires them to dribble to a spot, shoot, and pass to a teammate. Teams score by making shots. Larger cones further from the basket are worth more points.
