WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29TH - "GREEN or GOLD"?
Today we're celebrating GREEN day for our ABC countdown so besides wearing GREEN or GOLD or BOTH you have to decide......are you GREEN or are you GOLD? For this activity you will need a coin to flip or a die to roll. Set a timer and roll a die or flip a coin for 10 minutes or longer up to 20 minutes. Use the chart below to see what to do and the amounts to do. Try to remember to keep track of your rolls or coin flips to see whether you are GREEN or GOLD when time is up!
COIN DIE
Heads = GREEN Even number rolled (2, 4, 6) = GREEN
Tails = GOLD Odd number rolled (1, 3, 5) = GOLD
GREEN EXERCISES - choose between = burpees, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, running or skipping in place or around the house, jumping rope ( or pretending to), dancing, jump ups
GOLD EXERCISES - choose between = planks (regular, side or traveling), push-ups (knees or toes), curl-ups, squats or squat holds, lunges

MONDAY, MAY 11TH - "oh, APPY day! Ohhhhh APPY dayyy!"
OK, so the song I'm referring to above is REALLY "Oh HAPPY day!", however, today is APPy day!
I have some really cool app suggestions for you to try out this week (with mom and dad's approval of course!). All apps are kid friendly and most are free to download.
Today is NOT a REQUIRED PE DAY if you need to catch up on work. I found these apps over a month ago and today is a great day to share them! Go to the APP store of GOOGLE PLAY and look up the apps below!
- Balance It is a Task Card Resource for PE Teachers. A simple and powerful way to provide students with visual prompts and cues designed to help them develop Gymnastic skills. Available for $1.99 thru the APP store or Google Play.
-
Sworkit Kids is an exercise and fitness app aimed at students in elementary and middle school, though it can be used for students of all ages and even adults. The app guides students through exercise routines focusing on strength, agility, flexibility, and balance, such as doing the crab crawl, squats, or side plank. Once you sign in you can choose the "KIDS WORKOUT" section. Free download available thru APP store or Google Play.
-
AR RUNNER APP. This one is my absolute FAVORITE because it creates an augmented reality graph on any surface you want to use. Play indoors or outside! AR Runner is a one-of-a-kind competitive augmented reality game. However, THIS free app is only available for IOS devices. You'll have to check google play for similar augmented reality apps.Below is a youtube video on how this app works
- Sweat Deck for IOS and Shred Deck for ANDROID is a Deck of Cards workout app that will help you mix up your fitness routine and provides an endless combination of workouts! This is one of my favorites as well!!
The platform we were going to use is called "Breakout EDU". The games I had planned were all PHYSICAL games, meaning you were going to work in your teams to solve clues and hopefully break out (or in this case break IN to the locked box and find out what was inside).
However, the company has allowed any of my students to access DIGITAL games for free because I purchased the license for the whole school year!
All of the games are puzzles that need to be solved and each game has about 4 or more locks that need to be opened. Locks will open once you solve that certain puzzle.
Watch the video on "How to Play Breakout EDU Digital Games first. The next post will be at 10:15
We're celebrating quench your thirst day by investigating WHY we need water and WHAT happens when your body and brain needs water.
There are TWO videos and TWO workouts below but you only have to choose ONE of the videos and ONE of the workouts.
WHY DO WE GET THIRSTY?
This 6:08 video is very good; it's a cartoon video but it explains a lot about what the body and brain goes thru when it's thirsty.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31F0laJjyy8
This 3:44 video is also good, but it's a little more advanced, however it gets right to the point of what goes on in the body and the brain.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEyLDRSzbXE
NOW GET YOUR SWEAT ON! Choose one of the PDF workout files below, put on some of your favorite music AND GET MOVING.....and remember to QUENCH YOUR THIRST when you're done.
