What are we doing in PE? We are working on our eye
foot coordination in class. If we are outside we will play soccer, if we are inside we will play mat ball and or indoor
soccer. Mat ball is a fun game played inside, we use our tumbling mats for bases because you can have 5 players on one
base. We also run around the bases 2 or sometimes 3 times before you can score. Mat ball requires lots of teamwork
on defense and requires lots of running with plenty of strategy to go with it.
The Health Corner
Old habits die hard! Revise
your vague goals such as “I want to lose weight” or “I want to exercise more” to more specific and
realistic goals. Some examples include: - Eat breakfast every day. (You will be less likely to
snack later in the morning and early afternoon.)
- Drink skim or 1% milk instead of 2% or whole milk.
(You will reduce your calories and grams of fat, yet still receive the same amount of calcium, protein, and vitamin D.)
- Park
the car farther out in the parking lots of stores and malls. (Increase the number of steps you walk in a day.)
- Get
up one-half hour earlier each day. (This can give you time to exercise, assemble healthy food in the crockpot,and
make mornings less stressful.)
- Try one new health-promoting food each week. (Try eating more fish,
which is high in omega-3 fatty acids; folate-rich foods such as green, leafy vegetables, dried beans, or breakfast cereal;
or soluble fiber from oats and dried beans, which lower cholesterol.)
- Put away the salt shaker. (The
new recommended maximum daily sodium intake is 1500 mg for everyone.)
- Try one new physical activity
each month this winter…snowshoeing, cross country skiing, Wii®, or join a fitness center class such as spinning.
Remember to pick one goal and stick with it! Change one habit at a time. Each small step can lead to a healthier 2011.

Mayor's Fun Run 2011 What a day we had for the Fun Run this year. Congratulations
to Emily S. for winning the race and being the fastest girl in Waterloo. Her time was 7:10. She also came in 2nd
overall in the race. We also had Cannon B. come in 2nd for the boys and 3rd overall, Ben S. was 3rd for the boys and
4th overall. Our whole 4th grade class finished the race in less then 13:00 minutes. Way to go 4th graders.
We had a great time at Brynes Tennis Center with coach Will. We learned about tennis and about staying active to keep
our bodies healthy. Make sure to check out the pictures for the Fun Run.
Odds and Ends for PE
Remember you need tennis
shoes each day for PE. All 5th -8th graders must change out of what they wear to school and put on a St. Edward PE uniform
and or spirit wear. You need to come to class ready to participate each and every day.

| Mr. Staudt |
Things to work on for PE- 1. Keep active we would like to see 30
minutes a day outside of school. 2. Work on your eye foot coordination by playing kickball or soccer at home
with you family and or friends.
3. Always be positive, this will make you a good friend and
fun to be around.
