Rain Rain Go Away

Hey Wildcats!

          As the weather starts to get yucky on us, I just wanted to share a few fun physical activity links with you - these are perfect for when you have a limited amount of space, the weather is nasty, or you just want to switch things up. These are fun videos to do at home as a family!

          I also like to use a FREE app called Sworkit. There is a great kid version of this too - Sworkit Kids! This app will give you 30 second intervals of exercises, based on type of exercise - agility, strength, and flexibility. You could utilize this app anywhere - when you are waiting to be seated at a restaurant,  if you arrive early to an appointment with your kids, when you just need 5 minutes to yourself, etc. My nieces and nephews LOVE to exercise with me when I use the adult version of this app (Sworkit), so I was excited when I found the kid version. Apps like this are an easy way to incorporate more physical activity into your family's daily routines. Check it out! Thanks for checking in!

Cooperation - what is it?

Hey there Wildcats!
   
       We've wrapped up our cooperation unit - everything from Walking Blind, Mat Turtles, Radioactive Ocean, Lifeboats, and Hula Hoop Hang On require working together! During this unit we focused on what working together looks like, sounds like, feels like, and what it is not. I like starting with this unit because the activities can be a good bonding experience as students interact with their new classmates.

 
       The Wellness Committee met at the end of last week, and there are SO MANY things in the works! The Wilson Garden is in process, as you might have noticed coming into the parking lot. Wilson received a Fuel Up for 60 grant which provides funding for portions of the garden, as well as our school-wide wellness challenge.

       Hopefully you've seen the Fuel Up to 60 Wildcat Challenge Calendar. Our Wildcats will be tracking their physical activity throughout the month in an attempt to reach the recommended levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day - 60 minutes! Don't forget - physical activity is accumulated - you don't need a large chunk of time to give your body and brain what it needs. Take the stairs, park on the outskirts at the grocery store, walk as a family after dinner, play at the park - just get moving! Exercise is always more fun together :)
