Welcome to the 2012-2013 School Year

It's been a while since I posted on here and we are already in Week 6 of the school year. 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders have just completed their fitness testing. At LWS we use the Presidential fitness test. The test includes:

1 minute curl-ups (muscular endurance)

pull ups (muscular strength)

sit and reach (flexibility)

shuttle run (agility)

1 mile run or 1/2 mile for 3rd grade (cardiovascular endurance)


The students are encouraged to do their best, and set goals that they would like to achieve by the end of the school year. We will be testing again in April.

3rd, 4th and 5th graders will be starting a tennis unit next week.


K, 1st and 2nd graders have been playing lots of games to improve loco-motor skills such as running, skipping, hopping, jumping, sliding, and galloping. The K, 1st, and 2nd graders are currently playing games to practice and improve overhand and underhand throwing.
