Ms. Scott thought that I might be interested in an article in the November 11th edition of Time For Kids. And boy was she correct!
The cover story Gym Class Gets Smart - "Reading, Writing, Rock Climbing" made me think a lot about the things that we do in PE class. It made me realize that we are already "smart" and that there are some other things we can get to help us be even "smarter" in our choice of exercises. In the story the writer spoke of the "new P.E." in which students are participating in activities that they will enjoy doing forever in an effort to impact and improve their health over their lifetime. That is an awesome idea because if you are active and physically fit at a young age you are more likely to continue that trend into adulthood.
The article also included many great pictures of boys & girls exercising in a variety of different ways. Some were on stationary bikes. Just like we have! They also had some unusual ways of getting exercising like rock climbing, roller blading and a dance video game.
I have lots of ideas for new equipment that I hope to get for us. What about you? Can you think of some new equipment that would be fun for us to use for exercise? Did the article have any ideas that you would be interested in trying?
I know that if you exersize more your brain will want to be more active.

I'm good with the equipment that we have. But it will be great if we got some new equipment.
