Fitness Frankie's Week in Mrs. G's Class!

Hi everyone,
I had a great week in Mrs. G's class! My friends made a book about me! They drew wonderful pictures and wrote about what we ate on Wellness Wednesday and how we exercised on Fitness Friday! They are finishing putting the book together and when it's done I will share it with you! I went to PE with my friends too! They are doing gymnastics. I got to go on the balance beam, the springboard, use the junior turning bar, and balance on a ball. It was so fun! On Friday we went to a Healthy Highway assembly and learned about what Perseverance means. It means to keep trying even when something is hard....... We even danced the Healthy Highway dance! This week my friends in Mrs. L's class are going to take care of me......I LOVE Healthy Highway! Love, Fitness Frankie

Fitness Frankie's Week!

Hi everyone,
I spent the last two week's in Mrs. O's class. We have had so much snow that I missed a few days so Mrs. R. let me stay a little longer! I had a great time! My friends fed me healthy snacks for Wellness Wednesday! We ate grapes, graham crackers, "gogurt" (they tell me that is a type of yogurt....), an energy bar, non-salted pretzels (I learned that too much salt is not very good for you), a banana muffin, a blueberry muffin, and animal crackers! I exercised with my friends on Fitness Friday! On Fitness Friday, my great friend Mrs. R. played a song on the loudspeaker and my friends from Mrs. O's class and I danced to "Monkey in the Middle" During this song one person gets to be the "leader", or the "monkey", and we all follow along! Unfortunately we had too many snow days, which stopped me from exercising with my friends on the extra Fitness Fridays that I should have spent with them....... I am going to spend this week in Mrs. G's kindergarten! I Love Healthy Highway! Love, Fitness Frankie

Fitness Frankie's Weekend!

Hi everyone,
I was invited to my first sleepover this past weekend (besides my time with Mrs. R. of course). I went home with Mrs. F. for the weekend. Her daughter is a gymnast! She works really really hard at gymnastics and I got to tag along! I learned about how conditioning is important! I learned that conditioning means working hard on different exercises to get strong and flexible! I also learned that it is important to eat good food after working out, especially protein! I met some new friends, learned how to do pull-ups, a split on the balance beam, something called a "shoot through/middle circle" on the bars, and I even got to bounce in the bouncy house! It was an amazing sleepover! Everyone is so nice to me! I am back at school in Mrs. O's class. I am spending a few more days there this week because of all the snow days! I can't wait for my next adventure!!!!! Love, Fitness Frankie

Fitness Frankie attends the Board of Education Meeting!

Hi everyone,
I had an awesome experience last week! I was invited to attend the Board of Education meeting with our school principal! I had a very exciting evening! I got to be on television! I helped Ms. Hecht tell the Superintendent and the members of the Board all about Healthy Highway. They were very interested in our traffic sticks, and of course, they loved me! Love, Fitness Frankie

Fitness Frankie's Snow Day!

Hi everyone,
School was closed today because we had a really big snow storm! I was lucky because Mrs. R. decided to take me home to her house just in case.......I helped to clean off the cars in the driveway, and made a snow angel! It is Wellness Wednesday so of course I had a healthy snack. I decided to have a pear from the fruit bowl. There is always fruit at Mrs. R's house! Tomorrow I will go back to school to stay with my friends in Mrs. O's class. They told me that if we missed Wellness Wednesday, they would feed me healthy snacks on Thursday instead. It has been a great snow day so far!!!!!! Love, Fitness Frankie

Fitness Frankie's Week! 1/3-1/7

Hi everyone,
I had a great week in Mrs. F's and Mrs. B's class with kindergarten and first grade students. They took excellent care of me! I was allowed to go to PE with the children! I learned to play hoop tag and Save the Animals Tag! I even got to ride a scooter! PE is really fun! My friends fed me healthy snacks for Wellness Wednesday. We ate pretzels, a banana, an apple, grapes, goldfish, a clementine, cheez-its, crackers, crackers with peanut butter, graham crackers and peaches! Unfortunately, we had a snow day on Friday and I missed Fitness Friday :-(. I had a sleepover at school and I helped to shovel the snow instead. I am spending this week in Mrs. O's fourth grade. I LOVE Healthy Highway!.......love, Fitness Frankie

My Winter Recess Adventure!

Hi everyone,
I spent my winter recess in the main office since all of the boys and girls were on vacation. My friends in the office fed me healthy snacks for Wellness Wednesday. We ate apples, graham crackers and a clementine with a cup of tea! I exercised too! My brother Fred arrived home on Christmas from the army. We opened presents and I got a new scarf and ear muffs which I put to good use when we went skiing. I walked the school hallways when it was too cold to go outside. Since the weather was bad we put our time to good use reading our favorite book, Jack and the Beanstalk. I showed my friends what it was like in the Principal's office. My brother Fred left on the train at the end of vacation. We had a healthy and fit Winter Recess! I LOVE Healthy Highway! I wonder which class I am going to visit next............Love, Fitness Frankie

My First Week!

Hi everyone,
I spent my first week at North Park in Mrs. M's third grade class. My friends fed me healthy snacks for Wellness Wednesday! We ate oranges, carrots, fruit juice, apples, strawberries, and water! I exercised with my friends on Fitness Friday! We went to the gym and danced with all of the second and third graders. I really liked the Cupid Shuffle! I LOVE Healthy Highway! I wonder which classroom I am going to visit next week..........Love, Fitness Frankie.

Meet Fitness Frankie!

Hi! My name is Fitness Frankie! I came from Indianapolis, Indiana as a gift to Mrs. Robelee. I still have some relatives there! Do you know that Indianapolis is the home of a very famous race car event? It is called the Indy 500! I love race cars! North Park has many race cars in the hallways because they are moving down the Healthy Highway! I love to play and exercise and eat healthy food! Mrs. Robelee told me that I would get a chance to visit each classroom this year and be a part of Wellness Wednesday and Fitness Friday and be a part of North Park Healthy Highway! I am very excited and I can’t wait to learn! My friends at North Park are going to help me keep a journal of my adventure! You can read about it each week in this blog!
