Fitness Frankie's Adventure During Winter Workshops!

Hi everyone,

Fitness Frankie on the High Wire!

    I have been so busy!  Even though I have been at North Park for a few years now, the adventures are still new and amazing!  I just got back from visiting Soccer Sal at his school and I met so many new friends!  I will be writing about that soon!  In the meantime, I spent the last day of school before winter vacation enjoying the circus!  Well, it was not a circus with real animals, but it was fantastic!  At North Park, students get to participate in something called Winter Workshops!  They sign up for some really fun activities and spend the whole day learning new things!  It was really terrific!  Mrs. R and Mrs. M offered a circus workshop where students learned how to spin a plate (fortunately not a real one!), walk on the "high wire"(that's me on the high wire in the picture!), use angel sticks and diablos, juggle, balance feathers, and make animal balloons!  It was so much fun!  Mrs. R told the boys and girls that learning these activities takes Perseverance!  I learned that perseverance means that you keep trying even when something is hard, and that if you believe in yourself you can do anything!  You might notice that I have a new jacket on.  Mrs. R got it for me because I am going on an adventure with Miss H and I think I will see some snow on this adventure - at least I hope so!  In any event, I am ready!  I will tell you all about it when I get back!
The adventures never stop!  I LOVE Healthy Highway!
Love, Fitness Frankie

Healthy Hannah's Adventure in Mr. C's Class!

Hi everyone,
     I had so much fun in Mr. C's class!  I went to the gymnasium with the class and exercised with Mrs. B's and Mrs. C's class for Fitness Friday!  We did the Cha Cha Slide, jumping jacks, and crab kicks!
     Some of the class had bananas and apples for a healthy snack.  Almost the whole class had something wholesome!  I like berries and honey for my healthy snack!
     I ate potato latkes and applesauce during Mrs. K's Chanukah lesson.  The latkes were great, but we only had a few because they are yellow light foods.  These are foods that we can eat sometimes, but we need to slow down and think about eating them.  Applesauce is always a green light food!
     I also went out for some special exercise last week with the class.  I was happy to be able to move my body and burn off some energy!
     It was a healthy, happy, and awesome week with Mr. C's class!

     I LOVE Healthy Highway!  I wonder what my next adventure will be?
     Love, Healthy Hannah
