Fitness Frankie's California Adventure!

Hi everyone,
    Guess what?  I just got back from the most amazing trip to California!  I did not know that it was so far away!  Mrs. S took me with her and her family and we had a great time!  Mrs. S's daughter is a teacher so we spent a day at her school.  I met so many new friends!  We played 4-Square together and I met their classroom bear too!  They were so nice to me and included me in all of their games!  We also went whitewater rafting.  This was exciting, but honestly, it was a little scary too.  Mrs. S. held on to me tight and we had all of the safety gear that we needed!  It was the first time that I went on that kind of adventure!  We also went to Yosemite National Park.  It was so beautiful!  We had healthy snacks along the way and we did so much hiking that my legs are in great shape now!   The adventures never stop!  Thank you Mrs. S for a wonderful adventure!





I LOVE Healthy Highway!  Don't you?
Love,

Physical Eddie's Adventure with Mrs. R's and Mrs. S's 5th Grade!

Hi everyone,
    Physical Eddie here!  I was taken care of by Mrs. R's and Mrs. S's 5th grade class.  There were many activities I did with the class.  I learned how to multiply and divide fractions, figure out area and volume of rectangular shapes, and even got to play Math Jeopardy as they prepared for the BIG TESTS!
      I was taken to a 5k race where I cheered on Mrs. S and her daughter from the sidelines.  During PE I watched the fifth grade class do yoga, and I even gave the Cobra a try.  Also, I watched while they did the practice PACER test in Physical Education.  I got to be the king when a couple of the girls made a throne for me, King of Fitness!  Once I heard the fifth grade talking about all doing the fitness calendar this month.  I think the fifth grade will complete the calendars!
     I helped the fifth grade class celebrate three birthdays.  It was really exciting.  IBM engineers helped us make contraptions to keep an egg safe; our precious cargo.  I think the IBM's brought this project to show what they do everyday, to make life easier, and that we could consider it as a profession.  By the way, none of the eggs cracked during the experiment, not even "Jeffrey" (some of us named our egg...).  
     Finally, I helped the fifth grade class pick their states for their research reports.  It was really fun to be with the fifth grade team! 
 I LOVE Healthy Highway!  
I wonder which class I will visit next?


Love, 
Physical Eddie

Healthy Hannah's Adventure with Mrs. L's and Mrs. S's Class!

Hi everyone,
     I was taken care of by Mrs. L's and Mrs. S's class recently!  My friends fed me healthy snacks for Wellness Wednesday!  We ate applesauce, bananas, clementines, carrots, pears, granola bars, and pretzels.  Doesn't that sound delicious?  I also exercised with my friends on Fitness Friday!  We went outside and found pictures of suns, plants, or animals.  We linked together to create human food chains.  We moved along to show energy flowing between us!  We've been exercising our brains A LOT!!  One way has been to write poems.  We wrote a "cinquain" poem about me!  Read below:

Bear

Little, Courageous

Exercising, Stretching, Thinking

Keeps Her Engine Strong

How about that!!

     In PE, the boys and girls are learning about sports that use striking skills like tennis, badminton, and baseball.  Each day the boys and girls have goals to meet.  That's me in the picture reading about the goals for the day!  I learned that when you meet a goal, you should make a new one!  

Finally, I attended Family Fitness Night with Mrs. S and her family.  I was so pleased to see so many friends from North Park enjoying physical fitness with their families!  That's me with Chef Rico enjoying a healthy snack of hummus!

I LOVE Healthy Highway!

I wonder which classroom I will visit next?

Love,
