Udovich Elementary PE-Wednesday Assignments

Here we go! Our first test is the flexibility test--go ahead get warmed up & then see how it goes. Then have fun & play toss & catch. Have a great week!
WARM UP: TABATA
ACTIVITY: 1--Flexiblity/v-sit test. You will need 2 rulers. 1 ruler is between your 2 feet--so they are 12 inches apart, the other ruler is perpendicular to that so you can see how many inches you are from your feet. If you do not have rulers you can estimate. Things to remember--don't bend your knees, don't stretch quickly, and it should not hurt! You will just find out wether you can go past your feet or you are somewhere before your feet. If you are the ladder, it's best to try and stretch every day a little.
Once you get that done--here is just a fun activity for you called toss & catch...
COOL DOWN: Next week is sit ups---go ahead and do 5 sit ups, take a break, do 5 more, break and do 5 more....

Welcome to the 4th quarter, the end of our school year! We will be doing 1 PE test each week(starting next week) & I hope you will give your best effort. Beyond that, the lessons will look the same: warm up, activity, cool down---mark your assignment done & fill out the google form. Let's wrap up 2020-2021 the best we can!
WARM UP: we will practice each test easily for warm up so you know what's coming
1. stretch -- the v-sit will be sitting down but today you can stand up or sit down, keep your legs straight & see how far your hands go - to your knees, shins, ankles, the floor--just how flexible are you? 2. sit ups: how many can you do easily? your sit ups score will be how many you can do in 1 minute. 3. push ups: these never seem easy unless you do them all the time-- try them - see if you can do some. 4. mile run-- if it's ok with your parents maybe you can jog around the block, if not you can jog in place...but see if you can jog for 10 minutes...it could take that long to do a mile. LASTLY SHUTTLE---let's do that for our

ACTIVITY today-- gather equipment: A soft throwable object (small stuffy?) and a paper plate or other similar size target. Mark your starting area (put down a paper?) put the target across the room (or outside is great too!) -- you will be throwing your object to hit the plate, running and getting it and bringing it back to your start and doing it again--as many times as you can in 2 minutes. Similar to the shuttle run but not exact. Still great practice being agile & trying to move back and forth quickly.
***always feel free to make adjustments so that it is more fun for you-- maybe you'd rather do it soccer style or w/a racket or hockey-like.... anyway it's still a shuttle:)

COOL DOWN: I think you are ready to go...do you?
Here is the playing card fitness exercises-- pick 5 cards for a cool down...

1) warm up --your choice. something we've done before--tabata, ladder, jump rope... or dance to your favorite song or play hard with your dog---up to you!
2)Rope-Racket Relay .... a combination of what we've been doing so far. If you like -- time yourself & let me know what you get (report your fastest time) or just do it for fun.
----jump rope 10 times
----paddle 10 times
----jump rope backwards 10 times
----paddle with other hand 10 times
----jump rope on right foot 5 times and then left foot 5 times
----run 10 steps forward and back while paddling with your ball and racket
----jump rope alternating your feet - right then left then right etc. 10 times
----skip with your ball balanced on your racket (does not have to be bouncing up & down)
----make up a final jump rope challenge & do it!
----make up a final racket/ball challenge & do it!
3) Cool down-- do 5 of your favorite stretches for 30 seconds each and then do sit ups and push ups.
****have a great week next week---no school!

1) Try these 5 jump rope tricks for warm up.... see googe doc below -- try to do 10 of each.
2) SPORT challenge-- Below is a list of summer Olympic sporting events. Your challenge is to try 5 of them (safely!). If you already do the sport (karate, football(soccer), athletics(running), badminton, etc) that is your easiest choice--if you want to challenge yourself, choose one you have not done & research it. The goal is to spend about 5 minutes in the sport. ie: if it's athletics that means track & field so you can do 1 minute sprints outside 5 times, or use a ball & try to shot put it-- I hope you can get creative and have fun with this, I'd also love it if you can share with a video or picture of you doing 1 or all of them!
3) STRETCH - cool down, remember push up & sit up practice:)

March Madness is a college basketball tourney and it's chaos!!!! Our APEX March Madness consists of just fun activities we don't normally do..... feel free to suggest some:)
1) Roller coaster abs..... follow along with the videos
2) mini golf... get creative, there are some suggestions below. You could even use a wooden spoon & a ping pong ball if you have to...whatever works--make it fun & let your family try too!
3)Stretch--follow the sheet below, add in push ups and sit ups--we will be doing are fitness testing once again after spring break so make sure you are ready!
*****I'm adding in a video to teach you the boxer step video with a jump rope--it's an excellent video, please watch & let me know how it goes!

Good-bye February ❣️ Hello March ☘️
1. Tabata
2. Jump! Can you put a routine together, a dance perhaps...a sequence of jumps
You can write it on paper or just create it. Try to make it last for 5 minutes (if you have to make it shorter or want to make it longer--that's fine!) Maybe you can do it to a song, or maybe you do it for a work-out, or maybe it's your warm-up for next week! Let me know how it goes, get creative & Jump!!!!
3. RACKET: We are focusing on a rally, so if you have a parent, friend or sibling that can help you, you should do it with them. If not, go ahead and find a wall that you can use. Watch my video-- be creative, and make it work!
Have a great week! Let me know via the google form how it all goes--
don't forget to mark it done!

Yay for February...let's keep jumping:) 💗
1) Warm up: would you rather?
2) Try the tricks below. Some hard, some easy...you never know until you try--check them out.
Also time yourself for a minute and see if you can improve on how many jumps in a minute you can do....
3) RACKET GAME---minute to win it:)
use a laundry basket and a whole lot of sock balls.....
set the timer & see how many sock balls you can hit into the basket with your racket
Use an overhand or an underhand serve, use 4 feet distance or adjust until it's challenging.
Challenge your family or repeat at least 5 times and record your best score.
*******send me a video of you jumping rope....let me know if I can share it, love to be able to have everyone see everyone:) If you have a trick down, show me it!

Still February...still jump roping :) Have fun w/it...it's so good for you!
1) warm up use a deck of cards & pick 5
2) The older kids are tracking their heart rate. It's fun to see how fast jump roping makes your heart beat!!! You will notice after you jump if you even put your hand on your heart after you jump. Time yourself for 1 minute and see how many times you can jump in that minute (with your rope unless you aren't able to yet, then just pretend to use the rope). Let me know what you get! Then try the tricks below in the google doc. If you have a lot of energy and want to keep jumping....go for it! Maybe for 1 whole song or more! It will make you stronger, fitter & better!
3) Racket and ball--- We are going to see if you can hit the target today! Make sure it's an indoor thing if your indoors--gotta be safe and can't damage anything otherwise go outside and do it! If your outside, you could pick a tree. If you are inside, maybe land it on the couch or a piece of paper on the floor. See what you can do: take 10 tries, how many times do you hit that target? 4...that's 40%, try again and see if you can get better. Do at least 3 times, so each time is 10 tries at the target.

It's the month of Valentine's Day so heart it is... we are going to jump rope a little bit every week in Feb. hoping to get better & hoping our heart will get bigger and healthier, since it is a muscle!
1) warm up! I'm adding in alphabet challenge--so pick out a word or 2 like HEART, HEALTH,LOVE, HAPPINESS.... spell until you feel warmed up and ready to go! At least 2 4 letter words.....
2)Grab your jump rope! (this week some people who requested equipment are picking it up from school--if you have your own, grab it & if you ordered it - go pick it up!) If you know how to jump - the goal is 10 minutes, see if you can do it. If you do not know how, I'm adding a video and you need to report to me on how it goes! If the rope gets frustrating feel free to jump with a pretend rope --there is a list below of 10 ways to jump and you could try 1 minute of each. Also, if you need help - you should visit me in office hours.
3) more equipment! Grab your racket & ball and let's see what you can do! Follow the video & let me know how it goes!
A happy & healthy February starting this week <3 let's make it the happiest and healthiest yet in our life!

This is going out to 3rd-12th grade...make it your own! If you need to make it harder, make it harder! If it's too much, make it easier. I trust you to put in an effort that is GOOD for you--challenging, but not hurtful. Remember it is good to sweat & turn red & have your heart beat really strongly! Let me know...

1 & 2)This video starts with a warm up and then gets more intense, so you can start right up with the video. I like to use these so that you get to know the resource---if you like them, bookmark the page & visit often. I love seal jumps...robot jacks...& hot feet, well, to be honest--there's a lot of great exercises in there. Try and remember 1 that is new & that you liked, then tell me in the google form.
3) Plate Toss-- You will need a paper plate (try hard to find, if not you can throw your paper ball or sock ball)
Before the game, put 3 stuffed animals or pillows on one side of the room--closest worth 1 point, next one is 2 and farthest is 3. Use a paper plate and try to get as many points in 5 throws as possible. Throw behind the line that you feel is close enough yet challenging enough.
AS ALWAYS: Fill out google form, MARK DONE, and have a great week:) My office hours are 9:30-10:30 but you can email anytime if you need anything!

1. WARM UP.... start moving. Do you like bouncing up and down, jogging in place>>>do that for at least a few minutes OR see if you can do 50 jumping jacks, twice--you can rest inbetween.
2. TODAY: You need a paper bunched into a ball.
First-- BOP IT CHALLENGE! Make a circle maybe w/6 stuffies or pillows. While staying in the circle - see how many times you can bop that ball up and down with your hand. If you lose control and it hits the ground or you step out of circle, you are done. Try this 3 times or more--let me know your best score.
Second--6 HOLE GOLF! Take those pillows or stuffies (6 of them) and put them around the house. With your paper ball you are going to play golf. Each one is a hole. You will start @ a line you create and throw the ball to your first "hole" ... if it doesn't hit it, go pick it up where you threw it and throw it again from where you pick it up. If you want challenge someone to the game, keep your score on each hole. If you are playing by yourself, keep your score and play again and again until you get a perfect score (6). Good Luck!
****the video below is me explaining these 2 activities--watch it:)
3. COOL DOWN -- stretch. Choose 4 or more yoga poses below and try to hold them for 20 seconds while relaxing and breathing.

As always--fill out google form and mark done!

Do Equipment/welcome back survey first!

Warm up: Time yourself for 10 minutes---jogging around the house, dancing, jumping jacks...anything acceptable if it increases your heart rate and therefore your blood flow --

TODAY: Follow along with the video: Scavenger Hunt...

Cool Down: Walk into every room in your house and do 5 sit ups.

AS ALWAYS: google form or send video. Remember to mark done.

Tis the season, and I apologize if you don't believe in Santa or love singing songs associated with the holiday.
WARM UP: it's silly and fun --it will get you warmed up for sure if you let it! There are 2 links -let me know if they don't work!

today: PE does not stop ... hopefully, EVER ... try to get a habit going for winter break! Included are a couple ways to start this process.

1-- Do print or write out your own 30sec fitness chart & fill it in
2-- Most people have UNO or at least a deck of cards, go ahead & play this active version. If you only have a regular deck take the colors & change them to spades, clubs, diamonds & hearts. Think about leaving the deck out during vacation & pulling a few cards a day just to get active!
3--Your own version of games...KNOCK OUT! One idea, follow the instructions on the document below, it's the original game but changed so you can play it inside. Take all the games you love & create versions so that you can stay active even if you don't have the perfect equipment or set up!

COOL DOWN: take this time & pick a few poses to help you feel good
Fill out the google form and let me know how it all went...

I've been doing the same lessons for elementary, middle school and high school in the hope that it's easier to get them done together. Some of you this does not pertain to but there are some w/multiple kids and different ages, and especially now with the holidays -- everyone should try working together to get things done:)
1. Warm up: Decide on a word & spell the letters to a feeling of "ready to go" - 5-10 letter word.
2. Challenge: Set up this cool game with a laundry basket, bottle and you will need a tennis ball.
3. Cool Down: Stretch and plank.... spend at least 10 minutes focusing on breathing and improving your flexibility--don't force it, be gentle.

1. WARM UP : Tabata!
2. CHALLENGE: I hope you can involve many family members in this-- so good to get strong.
Let me know how it goes--if you don't have paper plates just pretend. It's called Sliding Plate Relay.
Hopefully, lots of family time means lots of activities -- get outside & play!
3. COOL DOWN: Sorry for all the videos--but this one is GREAT! Really hoping everyone can set some goals for increasing push ups. Upper body strength is so important.
CHEERS ! BE THANKFUL !

Don't be confused, Mrs. Simmons did the video for this week (her camera skills are much better than mine, but don't get use to it... perhaps I will learn but if not you will get the same old videos from me in the future:)

1. Warm Up: Use the Alphabet Fitness key and spell the following:
Thanksgiving
Turkey

2. More Soccer! I hope this is a good thing, if not--still do it -we will do something else next week. And foot eye coordination is the best--so good for your brain:)
SOCCER BOWLING- Set up pins or bottles -- inside or outside-- play with yourself or with others. Try to knock down pins and keep score. You have 2 tries - 1 point for each pin down. Great math if you add up your score after 10 rounds....send me your score! It should be a good one because you control how close you need to be.

3. For a cool down - high plank challenge w/Mrs. Martinez

1. Warm up - Superhero Dice Fitness. Do at least 5 rolls of the dice and start off with 5 repetitions. You can always do more if you want to!

2. Soccer! - Are you a soccer player? It's super fun...but for some it takes a while to not use your hands! So tempting to pick up that ball or touch it with your hand----DON'T DO IT!
Play soccer croquet today--see rules below:) Make a whole course with 9 goals or make 1 and keep doing it over and over...you do what works for you to make it more fun and more active!
*****If you have extra time, try juggling with your feet--use a ziploc bag full of air or a balloon--both are fun! Remember, no hands...soccer style...the more you do it, the easier it gets:)

3. As always: google form, send a video, or visit me in office hours

1. Warm up : 52 Card Pick up (see attached)

The MS/HS students also have this PE lesson & if you have the option to work on your shot with a real basketball on a court you may do that... if not... play the indoor version.

2. GAME TIME -- read and watch video for set up
You will need: basket (trash/laundry--clean is good), ball or rolled up sock, timer

F Follow through --pretty shot, rainbow arc & point to where you shot after you shoot :)
After you practice -- choose 3 spots to shoot from 1 pt for close, 2pts for mid range, 3 pts for farthest shot.
TIME yourself for 1 minute and count up your points. Shoot sitting down, crab walk to retrieve ball and then you can run to where you want to shoot (1-2-3 pt line).

Play against others, yourself--see if you can beat your score, try trick shots, other hand or different balls....

3. Mark as turned in----Add a video clip of you in classroom OR Complete the Google Form OR Visit me during office hours

2. Game - 100 Point Challenge - This is a list of 20 activities that each have a point value. If there is something that you can’t do (I don’t have a large ball, my parents don’t want me to run outside for 10 minutes), just skip that activity. The goal is to earn as many points as you can! Have fun!
3. How did it go? Let me know via the google form or video or office hours!

1. warm up: fly like an airplane
skip as high as you can
hop like a bunny
gallop like a horse
do each one for a minute so you make your heart beat faster.... then see if you can do some push ups and sit ups!

2. Jumping Calculator - create a calculator on the sidewalk using sidewalk chalk or in the house using tape or be creative but always think safety. Using 2 foot jumps or 1 foot jumps, practice math problems or challenge a family member to see how many problems you can solve in 1 minute (see video).

Skee Ball: Equipment: 3 buckets (laundry basket, storage bin, etc), tennis balls (rolled up socks if you don't have a ball), piece of cardboard or some other firm object to make a ramp. See video. Roll balls 10 times and count up your score. See if you can beat your score every time you play or play against someone or with someone.

3. You have been so creative, I love it! The most important thing is to stay active and to encourage others to do the same. Let me know how it goes--as always via the google form, drop a video or office hours. THX!

WARM UP! When you come to our gym--you will look at our board & you will do 4 laps around the cones in the way it is listed. For your PE lessons I will do the same-- I will list 4 ways for you to warm up and get your heart rate going. You can do them in place or your back yard or around your house--wherever you and your parents decide. About a minute for each.
1. Skip,
Gallop (trade off lead legs),
High Knees
Jog while doing arm circles.

2. PLANK HOCKEY
You will need: soft ball, tape or 2 markers for a designated goal or someone else in a plank position (the goal is between their arms).
Face each other, about 6 feet apart. Plank position: roll or strike the ball between their arms or in the goal. Try to score 3 times. How many times can you score in a minute? Move farther back if too easy, closer if too hard. Be strong with your plank! If it's too hard you can make the plank easier by lowering to your knees. Watch the video for more details.

3. SINK THE SHIP
You will need: a target (a laundry basket or bucket), 6 soft balls or stuffies.
Again 6 feet (the size of a tall person) between you and the target or goal. If you get 6 balls in the ship, it sinks! Using the UNDERHAND TOSS, work to sink the ship. You can work with someone to do this, you can go against them to see who can sink each other's ship first, or you can time yourself and see just how fast you can go--- whatever you decide! The goal is to have good aim. And to get strong while being in that plank! To add fitness you might choose to bunny hop or crab walk to get the balls that don't make it to the ship.

As always, fill out the google form OR send a video OR visit me in office hours :)
I hope you have a fun, active week!

1. Joke Fitness. warm up. If it's ok with your parents to use your computer for PE, click on joke fitness below. I did use safe share so that you will not be bombarded by inappropriate ads. ( If not you can jump around for a couple songs to get your blood flowing. And do exercises on your own like pushups, sit ups, and stretches )
I hope you can use the computer-- this warm up is fun and can get you ready to think and move :)

2. NINJA WARRIOR STICK YOUR JUMP COURSE. Create your own jump course in a 6 feet or so space. Make it challenging, but jump like a ninja! Soft landings build muscles! The link below gives more explanation. The videos will also help. Have fun creating and jumping and sharing!

3. Send back google form OR video OR visit me in office hours!

We are starting you with a RELAY!
Equipment: 10 items to carry (socks, balls, stuffies, etc.) 2 place holders a good distance apart (like home plate to 1st base), we used cones but anything will work.
Go Time: Move 1 item at a time from one place holder to the other. Use a different movement every time you move from place to place. Watch video for ideas of movement, you can also create your own and share with me. Once you've moved all 10 items, you are done with the round. Do multiple rounds and see if you can get faster, do it as a team, or race a sibling. Get stronger & have fun!
