Concord Elementary Physical Education: Food Power

Concord Elementary Physical Education: Food Power - This event was brought to us by the University of Missouri Extension Office courtesy of a Lindbergh Schools Foundation Grant. Students learned how food is grown on the farm, how it gets to their table, and then how our bodies use this food. This was a fun, interactive event that was enjoyed by all our Concord students.

Concord Physical Education News

It has been a busy year in Physical Education so far.  We have learned many new games, worked on skills such as overhand throwing, hula hoop, jump rope, basket and basketball related skills, and worked to improve our fitness level. Your children have also participated in various rhythmic activities, holiday related games, and of course we all enjoyed the inflatables. Check out the pictures we have posted of some of these activities.

Also, look for information coming home regarding our special presentation called Food Power.  This will be an interactive exhibit sponsored by the Missouri Extension office. Students will start at the farm learning how food is grown and then learn how it gets to our table. They will also find out what happens to the food once it is eaten.  There are plenty of volunteer opportunities for this special event.
