Please refer to the schedule below for Minimum Days and Night Conference dates. Health and Wellness Below are a few healthy activities to help students and their families kick off the new year: Week 1- Start the New Year off with a family walk. As you walk, share the ways that your family can stay healthy this year. Read a book with your family-act out the movements in the book. Using a laundry basket and recycled paper, make a bunch of paper balls and practice throwing them into the basket from different distances. Build your muscles today by acting like a crab, a bear, and a seal. Play "add-on." Take turns doing one simple movement, such as bending your elbow. As you do a new movement, repeat the movements that have already been done. Week 2- Find a bunch of pillows and set up an obstacle course. Use the pillows as rocks to step on as you cross the river. Don't get wet! Roll up some socks, put them on a big beach towel, hold one of the ends of the towel and fling the socks into the air. Play follow the leader in your house. Take turns moving to a different room and then do a fun movement in each room. Go on an imaginary walking trip. Pretend to walk through the sand, over a bridge, into the mud, or under a tree. Today you are going to be "rain." Can you act out a mist, or a drizzle, or a downpour? What about a windy rain, a cold rain, or a heavy rain?

Staying Active During Winter Break Here are some healthy activities to keep children active during their three-week break: Week 1- Find items around your house that make noise. Use these “instruments” as you march through your home in a parade. Create an obstacle with chairs and blankets. Practice moving under, over, and around. Visit every space in your home, but each time you get to a space do five jumps as high as you can and then move to the next space. Sort toys as you exercise. Begin by figuring out how to sort by color- by size-then make piles on different ends of your home. As you find an object, move quickly to the correct pile, hop on each foot five times, and then move quickly back to get another toy. Use your creativity to make up a new game that uses something from your kitchen. Give your game a funny name. Get outside and go for a walk. As you walk, breathe in through your nose and blow out through your mouth. Work on your cutting skills and make some paper snowflakes. Week 2- Use the snowflakes from yesterday to make a trail through your home. Can you move through your home without touching the floor and only touching the snowflakes? Take a run. Work on moving in a straight line, move your arms front and back, and land lightly on your feet. Celebrate winning the race! Family relaxation activity. Turn the lights off and you lay down on the floor. Squeeze and then relax your muscles. Breathe. Movement charades: Act out something that has to do with winter. Can anyone guess what you are? Indoor snowball fight! make a bunch of paper balls and have fun throwing them far, near, high, and low. Pick them up and do it again. Transportation fun: Begin by identifying a different form of transportation and then pretend to do it. Such as riding your bike, driving a big bus, or gliding on your rollerblades. Scatter socks throughout the room. Pretend to walk on a tightrope. When you get to a sock, stand on one foot, bend down and pick up the sock-keep your balance. Week 3- Get outside for a game of tag. If you have snow on the ground, this will be extra good for your body. Pretend to float all through your home like a snowflake falling from the sky-float high, float low, float fast, float slow. Can you build a tower out of pillows? Practice your underhand throwing skill as you try to knock over the tower. Pretend to be animals who play in the snow-walk like a polar bear, a penguin, and a seal. Sit across from your parent/caregiver and practice rolling a "snowball" back and forth- count to 10 as you roll back and forth, and then move further apart and try it again. Put mittens on your feet and use them as skates to glide across the kitchen floor. What was your favorite activity this month? Give it another try!
