Our Physical Education program was recently spotlighted in the February 3rd edition of The Rockdale Citizen.
Physical Education classes at J.H. House Elementary School have stepped into high gear. Through a $10,000 youth fitness grant from General Mills, the school purchased 30 Polar Heart Rate monitors along with a Tri-FIT Evaluation System, which is an advanced computer integrated fitness evaluation system. According to Stacy Roper, physical education teacher at J.H. House, the emphasis in P.E. has shifted from games with winners and losers to a focus on equipping students with the skills and knowledge that will encourage them to lead physically active lives.
Students, share some of your experiences using the heart rate monitors. What have you learned about your heart through monitoring your rate during physical education class? Is it hard to keep your heart rate in the target zone?
I like generalmills cause of its kindness.I am glad we are pals.
