Exercise Ernie's Adventure in Mrs. M's Class!

Hi everyone,
   I spent the week in Mrs. M's class!  My friends fed me healthy snacks on Wellness Wednesday!  We ate cheese nips, pistachios, granola bars, apples, and a clementine!  My friends and I exercised on Fitness Friday too!  We did Monkey in the Middle and my heart was beating very fast!  I even got to go to PE with the class and do gymnastics this week!  That's me in the picture on the balance beam and springboard!  We also had a Healthy Highway assembly this week and guess what?  My friends are going to try to earn enough miles to get to Denver, Colorado so that I can get home!  It is 1,810 miles from here to Denver and so far the boys and girls have earned 836 miles!  I am having a wonderful time here at North Park, but after this year is over, I am going back to Colorado to spread the good news of Healthy Highway!

I LOVE Healthy Highway!  My next adventure is to spend this week
in Mrs. F's and Mrs. B's class!
Love, Exercise Ernie

Fitness Frankie's Adventure in Miss V's Class!

Hi everyone!
    I spent the week in Miss V's class!  I had a great time during Winter Break with Mrs. J and Mrs. F in the main office, but it was great to get back in the classroom and see all of my friends!  My friends fed me healthy snacks on Wellness Wednesday!  We ate apples, carrots, bananas, yogurt, peaches and pudding!  My friends and I exercised on Fitness Friday!  We played outside on the monkey bars, danced the limbo, jumped rope, walked on the big balance beam and did standing jumps off the springboard during PE class!  The boys and girls are starting a unit on gymnastics and I got to play too!  There are so many different pieces of equipment to play on I hope I get to come to PE with another class next week!  My friends took such good care of me!  I LOVE Healthy Highway!  I wonder what my next adventure will be!
Love, Fitness Frankie

Our Adventure During Winter Workshops!

Hi everyone,


   We had a terrific time during Winter Workshops at North Park!  This is a terrific day when all of the boys and girls get to choose special workshops to go to!  It's a whole day of fun and learning new things! Mrs. R and Mrs. M taught the boys and girls all about the circus and we got to play too!  We learned how to spin a plate (not a real one - just a plastic one thank goodness!), juggle, use angel sticks, spin a diablo, balance a feather, and even walk on the high wire! (well, it wasn't a real wire, and it wasn't too high, but it was still fun!).  Later in the day, Mrs. R. took us to some of the different workshops and all of the boys and girls were having so much fun!  (us too!)  Mrs. S. was teaching everyone all about making healthy snacks, other boys and girls were learning about yoga, chess, making all kinds of holiday decorations, and playing so many new games!


We had a blast visiting many of the sessions!  If you want to see more pictures of us at the workshops as well as pictures of our other adventures, click here!  Everyone is on vacation now, but we are having an adventure at school with Mrs. F and Mrs. J!  We can't wait to tell you all about it!  We LOVE Healthy Highway!
Love, Fitness Frankie and Exercise Ernie
