Hi students and parents/caregivers!
I hope everyone is staying safe out there, and I will miss teaching you in DAPE class while we are not at school. The good news is you or your parents/caregivers already have all the skills, tools and knowledge you need to keep your body healthy. I encourage parents/caregivers to do the activity together with the child under your care.
I hope you can use all that we’ve learned in DAPE this year to stay active each day, and if it’s safe and the weather is nice, you could even try to get outside and play in your yards to keep yourselves active.
I’ve included some daily workouts for you to try out on the DAPE CHOICE BOARD below, and also linked up a ton of resources and activities that you can check out if you get bored or need a fun activity to do.
It is recommended that kids get 60 minutes of activity per day! Activity can be walking, running, riding bike, playing catch, sports, raking the yard, etc. While this is recommended daily, for DAPE class I would like you to exercise for at least 15 minutes a day for 2 days of the week. I have included a DAPE ACTIVITY PLAN with the DAPE CHOICE BOARD. There are extra activity logs to record your exercise! I will at times also be sending home some specific activities for you as well.
If you have a question or want to report progress on your DAPE goals please give me a call. If I am unable to answer, please leave a message and I will try to return your call as soon as possible.
I am also available to video chat in my e-learning day room every day from 9:00 - 10:30, or upon request. Make sure that you are logged into your chromebook account and click this link. It will bring you to my DAPE google meeting, and we can see each other and talk.
