ELEMENTARY ENGAGEMENT GUIDE

TUESDAY, JULY 28, 2020

WORD OF THE DAY:

Athletics (noun) – physical sports and games of any kind.

Our athletics department works together to ensure that all kids have an opportunity to learn about different sports.

 

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

“Before kids can play like a pro, they must enjoy playing the game like a kid.”

-STEVE LOCKER
HEALTHY SNACK:

Orange Segments

 

Sometimes going back to the basics is exactly what you need on a hot day when playing your favorite sport. Grab some oranges, peel them and enjoy! 

CAREER OF THE DAY:

 

Sports Agents represent the interest of athletes, particularly in contract negotiations. They also handle sponsorships, public relations, and financial planning. Professional athletes often are signing their first professional contracts in their late teens or early 20s and rarely have the experience or education to fully understand the legal complexities involved. In the case of high-profile athletes, those contracts often are for hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and athletes need guidance handling those finances.

CHALLENGE OF THE DAY:

Today’s challenge: Rock, Paper, Scissors, Stretch! The goal of the game is to try to stay balanced longer than your partner! Start out by facing your partner and playing a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. 

  1. Each time you win a game of Rock Paper Scissors stay where you are–you don’t need to move your feet! 
  2. Each time you lose a game of rock paper scissors, stretch out by one foot length. One way to do this is to simply take a step back with your back foot, keeping your front foot in the same spot. 
  3. Each time you lose a game, your back foot goes further back and your front foot stays in the same place!
