Dear Elementary Friends,

We have created this site to provide you with resources to keep you active. The daily recommendation for children ages 6-17 is 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity. Please strive for AT LEAST 20 minutes per day, which should include locomotor skills (skipping, hopping, Jumping, galloping, side stepping....etc....) plus exercises to help with your physical fitness level (planks, push-ups, curl-ups), please see standards below. In addition to activities you may already be doing to stay active, we encourage you and your family to use the resources listed below to help you meet your goals. It may be helpful to use the activity or nutrition logs below to keep track of your progress. Stay active and have fun!

Mr. Ashcraft, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Kritz, Mrs. Mulligan, Mr. Schreiner, Mr. Swayne

Citizenship Thought of the week

Self-monitoring Behavior: Is the process of monitoring your own behavior and comparing it to what your expected behavior should be.

1. Think before you speak. Think about how your words are going to make someone else feel before you speak them.

2. Be responsible for your actions. If you make a mistake, say you're sorry, and correct the behavior the next time.

3. Do your best to make good behavioral decisions. Try to behave in a way that will make others proud of you.

Even TV stars have a tough time controlling their behavior - Watch this clip!
