Catch my Breath is an organization aimed toward promoting physical and mental health. They have created a Google classroom with physical and health wellness activities you can do at home with your students. Below are instructions to access this classroom.
Click on the following link: https://www.catch.org/pages/health-at-home
Scroll to the bottom of the page for instructions from Catch my Breath on how to access the classroom. The classroom code is on that page as well.
Please note: Avoid using an email associated with an educational (i.e. school district, UAA/UAF), or any health/mental health organization to make your Google Account. Use a personal email instead because Catch my Breath won’t allow you to access the classroom unless it’s a personal email address.
