I am attaching the 5th newsletter for you to copy and paste any of the
information you need.
I have been receiving numerous emails from others who have adopted the
idea of using the "Movin' with Fitness Pals" CD over the intercom for
a school wide activity. Both staff and students stay in their
classrooms as the song is played over the intercom. It is being
shared that the principals are even joining in! Most have suggested
that the CD be played first thing in the morning, right after
announcements.
Our school uses the same song numerous times in a row every Friday
morning. Using the same song allows staff and students to get into
the routine--we call it Fabulous Fit Friday. I go through a new song
with the staff (takes about 10 minutes) and provide them with the
routine by making copies of the "Cheat sheets" that come with the CD.
It has been fabulous!
I also ordered one and two pound hand weights from S & S Worldwide.
Students use when we warm-up performing laps. Not only do the weights
teach students that adding weight makes the body work harder, the hand
weights help students perform the fundamental arm movements properly
when walking, jogging, and running. It was a pleasant surprise.
