CCS 8th graders started a rugby unit today. Getting acquainted to running with the ball, movement skills, all the while getting that heart rate up. Thanks to @OPENPhysEd for the curriculum! Such a great resource!! #physed #cvsdvt #ccslearns

CCS 5th graders engaged in a simple, yet fun instant activity called knee tag. No equipment. Just a quick 60 sec rundown on safety and rules. Challenge a classmate. Fastest to 5 points wins. 1 pt for every clean touch of an opponents knee. #physed #cvsdvt #ccslearns

Fit kids! #PhysEd #cvsdvt #ccscvsd

Introduced a new segment in my classes, "Mr. Kent's exercise challenge." Each week I present my students with a formidable exercise. This week it was 4 - ball push up. Couple of 7th graders nailed it! #physed #cvsdvt #ccscvsd

It's that time of year again...Gaga Ball time! Put a fitness spin on it...get out...do an exercise, which was selected by the students, before you can re-enter the arena. This round was medicine ball chess presses! #PhysEd #cvsdvt #ccscvsd

Another incredible donation from a community parent. New resistance bands, along with a medicine ball, which our students will benefit from tremendously! Cant wait to incorporate them into our lessons!!Thank you to that parent and to our community as a whole!!! #cvsdvt #ccscvsd

Shout out to @justybubPE for this fun activity. My 4th graders loved it! Keeping fitness fun is what it's all about!! #PhysEd #cvsdvt #ccscvsd

CCS 4th grade during a cooperative challenge today called "Empty the Middle." 4 small groups, working towards a common goal, which is empty the middle of all objects asap! Complete a pass from middle to hula hoop. Kids shaved 2 m off from rd 1 to rd 2! #PhysEd #cvsdvt #ccscvsd

CCS 7th grade just started our indoor tennis unit. A glimpse here of our set up. Ended class class with a little "Champs vs. Challengers," doubles edition. #PhysEd #cvsdvt #ccscvsd

Friday morning one of my 4th grade classes did a kind deed and helped me pull up floor tape from a past unit. They created a tape monster which they were very proud of! It's the little things right!? Thank you to Mrs. Poirier's class!! #physed #cvsdvt #ccscvsd
