Fitness Frankie's Week in Mrs. E's 4th Grade!

Hi everyone,
I am SO happy to be back at North Park! I had a great summer, but I missed my friends! My friends in Mrs. E's class were very excited when Mrs. R. announced that I would be in their class and they took great care of me this week! My friends fed me healthy snacks on Wellness Wednesday! We ate yogurt with granola, carrot and pepper sticks with dip, apples, bananas, and applesauce! My friends and I exercised on Fitness Friday! We played outside even though it had rained. We ran around, jumped around, and played on the monkey bars! Funny, there were no actual "monkeys" on the bars.......I will have to ask Mrs. R. about that........Some of the class played kickball and many of us watched them. It was great! I LOVE Healthy Highway! I wonder what my next adventure will be! Love, Fitness Frankie

Exercise Ernie's Week in Miss K's Class!

Hi everyone,
    I had an exciting week in Miss K's second grade class!  I even got to go to Meet the Staff Night and meet some parents!  We shared a healthy snack on Wellness Wednesday.  I also got to taste blueberries that one of my new friends brought in to share with the class after we read Blueberries for Sal!  The children wrote many stories about me during writer's workshop!  Miss K's is going to give them to Mrs. R. for my journal!  I spent time with Bono the monkey.  He is the mascot for Miss K's class.  Here we are at the Sneaker Center in PE.  This is where students go to find a safe place to tie their sneakers!

Bono is really nice!  He taught me so much this week!  We went to PE together with the students and we helped them learn about some healthy snacks too!  During PE class the students exercised and played a game called "Find My Color"!  It was a fun game! This picture shows us in the gym while the students played!




Fitness Frankie was right!  North Park is a great place and my adventures down the Healthy Highway have started just like his!  I can't wait to see where I go next week!  I LOVE Healthy Highway!  Love, Exercise Ernie

Fitness Frankie's and Exercise Ernie's First Days of the 2011-2012 School Year!

Hi everyone,
     We are back to school at North Park!  I am so excited because Mrs. R. has some new ideas for our Healthy Highway program this year!  My friend Exercise Ernie, who I met last year during Spring Break, has come to spend the year with us too!  He is from Colorado and loves to ski!  We are going to teach him all about how we use Healthy Highway at North Park!  The boys and girls are excited too!

     We had our first Healthy Highway assembly and everyone at North Park got a chance to learn about my summer adventure!  Mrs. F - that's our new librarian - read the book that Mrs. R. wrote about our trip to London and Dublin while Mrs. R. showed everyone the pictures.  Everyone thought it was a great adventure!  Me too!  Next, Exercise Ernie and I arrived at the assembly in our new car!  Well, it's not a real car, but it's very cool!  Mrs. R. introduced Exercise Ernie to everyone and the boys and girls are excited to have us in their classrooms this year!



   

     One of the new activities that we are going to do for Healthy Highway this year is take the Healthy Highway Pledge each day.  The HH Pledge says:
"I promise to make ONE healthy choice EVERY day to keep my engine strong!"
All of the boys and girls are signing class pledge cards during PE class and Mrs. R. is making a bulletin board with all of them!  Exercise Ernie and I watched while the boys and girls signed the pledge cards.  We are very proud of them!


     Well, it's time for Exercise Ernie and I to rest up!  We have a busy week ahead of us at North Park because we are going to start spending time in each classroom learning about Healthy Highway!
I LOVE Healthy Highway!  Love, Fitness Frankie.
