Each Thursday I will send you a newsletter containing important information
regarding our classroom. It will be posted under the newsletter link. If
you have trouble opening any document please let me know.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that children be
physically active for at least 60 minutes a day. For children, the 60 minutes
of activity can be done over the day, and some of that time may come from
moderate physical activity offered in schools and classrooms through physical
education classes. Adults should do a minimum of 2 hours and 30 minutes of
moderate-intensity exercise each week. Make getting more physical activity
and exercise a family project. Encourage everyone to think of fun activities
that get you up and moving, off the couch, and away from the TV. Choose a
different activity each day or each week to try. More information on this
topic can be found at: http://www.vaughanptsa.org/committees.cfm?
