Exercising with Ms. E

Ms. E has joined our class. She is full of exercise energy! We have been exercising with her every morning because exercising is good for us. We know it is important to eat good foods, drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and exercise on a regular basis. We get exercise every time we go to recess and Physical Education class. We have learned to stretch before exercising. Ask your child about the stretching they do at the beginning of P. E. class. We have learned that exercising can be running, jumping, walking, swimming, and many more fun things. Many times we don't even realize we are exercising our bodies, but we are! We are more aware of our breathing and heart rate before, during, and after exercising. What exercises does your family do? Talk to your child about what exercises you can do as a family. Remember chores around the house can be exercise-dusting furniture, scrubbing the floor, picking sticks up in the yard. Good luck with your exercise programs at home! =)
