Dear Parent or Guardian,
Your child’s health class is studying physical activity. This topic is designed to help students learn how they can benefit from physical activity, establish a personal fitness plan, and safely engage in physical activity.
Questions your child will consider include: In what ways can I benefit from physical activity? How can I set fitness goals? How can I safely participate in sports and other physical activities? With your help, your child can proceed with confidence and find answers that will lead to healthy decisions.
To support and extend our classroom work, please set aside some time during the next few weeks to complete one or more of the following activities with your child.
• Talk with your child about the different physical activities in which he or she can participate.
• Discuss ways that your child could improve his or her physical fitness. Help your child establish a fitness goal.
• With your child, assess his or her sports gear to see if it is safe and sufficient. If necessary, update the equipment.
Please engage in any other actions or discussions you feel will encourage your child to safely participate in physical activities and become more physically fit. Thank you for your attention. As always, please feel free to contact me [email protected].
Sincerely,
Ms. Herring
Health/PE Teacher
