Winter Workout!

We went outside today, and we did a winter workout. Everybody had fun - they were laughing! - Hailey K.

 

Today we went outside because we were getting too squirrelly inside sometimes. We did jumping jacks, running on the spot, and we had to run to the first soccer net and back and to the far net and back. - Joey

 

After our original indoor recess, we went outside to get some fresh air and to run off some energy. After the winter workout, we were all tired except Mr. Hoeppner. - Jenna

 

When we did that workout, I was running very fast, and then I slipped and flipped myself. Mr. Hoeppner made me keep on running, touch the soccer net, and run back - I wasn't allowed to walk back because I had to run. - Gal

 

It has been a loooooooong week of indoor recess at school, and although my class has done quite well considering how long they've been cooped up for, a lot of the students were definitely starting to get 'squirrelly' today. So, we all bundled up really, really well, and had a 3-minute workout outside after their afternoon recess. Some jumping jacks, a little running on the spot, and running to the soccer field goalposts and back did the trick! After, the students were smiling and laughing (albeit with a bit of huffing and puffing!), and agreed that the fresh air and sunshine was definitely needed... and I agree! Just two more days of this, and then it looks like the cold snap will break - thank goodness!
