Each school year my students learn about maintaining a healthy body and healthy heart for both themselves and their families. This upcoming year, a large part of our active time outside was cut from our curriculum day. I have been brainstorming on how to incorporate health and fitness inside the class room. This summer I became a certified Zumba/Zumba kids instructor and used my prior Nutritional Sciences Degree to come up with a fun alternative. In connection with Science, Physical Fitness and Mathematical Standards, my students will exercise in class using stretching and dancing movements. Each week a healthy cooking lesson will be taught, simple enough so that they can repeat the recipe at home. My hope is to motivate my students to be active and understand the importance of a healthy self. A healthy student correlates with improved learning. I aspire to teach my healthy lessons school wide, then district-wide.
