Hello Kindergarten Families
We are so excited to be working with y'all for the rest of the year to keep you moving and healthy.
Each week we will put up some activities and a health related lesson for you to do with your kindergartner. You can do these everyday or as often as you want. If you have favorite lessons or activities, you can easily mix those in with the current week's activities. Kindergartners need to be moving for at least 60 minutes a day. That may sound like a lot but kids don't have to move for 60 minutes in a row. You can spread activity throughout the day.
Each week you will find:
A Warm Up
Activities
A Monthly Calendar of ideas to get moving
You can find all the Kindergarten PE lessons here. Each week, we will add a new lesson.
