Good morning everyone,

I think its really important during this time to focus on mental wellness, as well as physical. I have found over the last little while that students have been particularly receptive to yoga and meditation practices. While sometimes met with some skepticism, most of the time once students are finished, they appreciate the experience. So, after over a month of this state of isolation, students may be feeling some new anxiety and stress that they have never dealt with before. Especially middle and high school students. Take some time and give this yoga practice a try. It is a flow specifically target towards releasing feeling of stress and anxiety. Parents, you are welcome to give this one a shot with your young one!

Stay safe, stay calm, and have fun today!

Middle School:

This is another great workout posted by our PE Lead called "Countdown Craziness" This is a circuit style with 5 exercises that will decrease in the number of reps throughout the workout. It starts with 50 reps and decreases down to 10 reps. Try and go through the 5 exercises with minimal rest between exercises. I suggest you do at least 3 rounds, with some rest between each round. You can certainly do more if you like!

K-2:

Today's suggested activity will be working on our individual tossing and catching skills. I will attach a set of activity cards that go through some simple progressions for tossing and catching that can be done inside or out, and with very simple and modifiable materials. This skills that are practiced in these cards are also a great fit with this week weekly challenge! My suggestion is to focus on the first 2 activity cards for Bowling and Basketball for today!
