This week we have started our yoga unit. We are focusing on breathing techniques and stretching to our comfort zone. We are working on flexibility and strengthening our muscles. We are also working on coping with or releasing stress by controlling on our breathing in a comfortable relaxed environment. I talk with the students about this being a good technique to use at home as well when they become stressed or angry.

At the end of this week we will be taking a muscles test. The fifth graders will need to label the correct muscle in the correct location. They will have a word bank to help them with spelling. Sixth graders will need to label the correct muscle in the correct location along with spelling it correctly. They will not have a word bank. If they do not receive 100% they will have the opportunity to re-take over the muscles they missed.
