Fifth graders in Mr. Patenaude's PE class had the chance to learn about and practice for the PACER Test this week.
At the start of class the students watched a short video about the PACER Test.
PACER is a fitness test that stands for Progressive Aerobic Cardiorespiratory Endurance Run.
The objective of the PACER Test is to run as long as you can while keeping a specific pace.
After the video, the students were paired up into teams of two.
One student would run the PACER, while the other student cheered them on and kept track of how many rounds they had completed.
Some of the students played "rock, paper, scissors" to determine who would run first.
The students ran a total of 20 rounds.
After everyone finished their rounds, Mr. Patenaude went over the goal settings.
He also asked them what other activities they can do outside of school to improve their endurance.
