This activity fits right in with the health and wellness initiative with most schools across our nation. Agian, using the literature connection from Make Way for Ducks , students will participate in “Operation: Boston Marathon”. For this activity, students will complete a marathon of twenty-six miles. Of course, they won’t really be running twenty-six miles at once, but it is  hoped that they can complete a ‘marathon course’ over the next several months. Each participating student will be given a punch card worth twenty-six miles (elementary students)

Check the 'Conversion Activity' sheet to log your miles. Each activity has been converted to equal the time and energy that one would expel running one mile. 

Students will use Google Sheets to log their activity, which could include swimming, dance, martial arts, soccer, gymnastics and more (see conversion chart for a list of acceptable activities). All participating students are on the honor system. 

Have someone take a picture of you in your activity! Save for your final project.
