Last month our theme was Just Be Active. We realized in our classroom we can be active on a daily basis with different activities that we do. We do yoga stretches in the morning sometimes. We have brain breaks that is some sort of movement. Our favorite is the Just Dance videos. A new activity that we have found for brain breaks is the GoNoodle website with lots of different ideas for some exercise. We also have gym a couple days a week.
Through the whole month we talked about the things that we were doing at home to be active. We brainstormed lots of things that we could do. We had a Poem of the week that was called Keep Fit! It was all about things you can do to keep your body fit. In Gym, we did different exercises with partners and relay races. We had someone's mom from our class, who is a fitness instructor, come and teach us some ways to make exercising fun. A woman who plays baseball came and taught us how to play Blastball.
Another thing that is important when learning about being active is eating healthy. A mom in our school who is a nutritionist came to our classroom and taught us a few things that could help us to stay healthy and active. She said that the healthy foods we eat are like the different colours of the rainbow. We should eat at least four different colours of food a day. To get our energy for staying active we need to eat all the right foods. Healthy food also helps your body to grow and see. She gave us an activity where we had to change a junk food for a healthy food.
This month we are learning about the Million Act of Friendship: Just Be ME!
