Happy Thursday! This is my favorite smoothie recipe! What is yours? Make sure you have an adult help keep you safe in the kitchen. Smiles, Ms. Emert  Part 1 Part 2

Hello Bobcats! I hope you are having a great day! I challenge you to have a dance party! You can do a freeze dance, having someone pause the music every few seconds and freeze like a statue. You can also follow a just dance video or go noodle video too! Remember if you are looking up a dance video to follow do it with an adult, for your safety! My daughter and I tried a go noodle dance called the Maxarena. Doing this dance we crossed the imaginary line down the middle of our body called the midline. Did you know you could make your brain stronger too?! Crossing the midline promotes coordination and communication of both sides of the brain. It helps your brain grow and develop to complete simple tasks like putting on your socks and shoes! When you are dancing I challenge you to cross the midline of your body! Have a great day! Miss you tons! Mrs.Ham

Happy Tuesday, Bobcats! My son and I have been doing a lot of pickaxing, digging and hauling of dirt to help my husband finish a patio.  It’s been a fun project that has gotten us all outside and moving together.  I hope you are all continuing to do some fun activities with your families as well! We love hearing about what you’re up to! We miss being in PE with you all and my family really misses soccer games. Though we can’t play competitive sports or even really play with friends, remember what we always say about the type of improvements we strive for in PE.  The competition is with yourself—it’s about achieving your PERSONAL BEST.   So, whatever activity you enjoy, challenge yourself to improve.  Pick an activity and set a goal.  It can be a short term goal (like for the week) or even better, a longer term goal.  Maybe you train to run that extra distance, hold your plank longer,  or increase the times you juggle a soccer ball. Whatever you may choose, you can do it—DIG DEEP!! Love

Happy Monday Bobcats! I hope you had a great weekend and are ready for another week of online learning! We will continue to post an extra challenge here on our website each day along with our choice board options. We hope you are accepting some of our challenges throughout the next few weeks. Please make sure you message us on seesaw to show us what you have been up to. We even have a PE folder on seesaw to store your pictures! Today I challenge you to make a fruit or veggie kabob. This can even be made with a mix of fruits and veggies. You can also make a rainbow out of your fruits and veggies without the kabob stick! Fruits and veggies are a healthy snack. If you are looking for something a little sweeter, fruit is the way to go! My favorite fruit is a kiwi! What is yours? We hope you have a great day!! -Stay Active, Mrs. Ham

Happy Friday Bobcats! You made it! Another week of online learning almost complete! I am sure you are doing great! Today I challenge you to bounce a ball into a bucket. It sounds pretty simple but I tried many times before being successful. You have to have the right combination of force and distance. That means how hard you bounce the ball and how far it goes. If you don't have a ball that you can bounce, I challenge you to use an underhand toss and toss a ball or rolled up socks into a bucket or bowl. I hope you have a chance to get outside even if it is just for a walk. Have a great weekend! Miss you tons! -Mrs Ham

Thankful Thursday! We took a bit of a different path through our woods the day this picture was taken of Moon.  She stumbled upon Joy!!!  As we looked more closely, we saw beautifully painted rocks that read love, happy, peace scattered on the trail.  What a fun find that made us all smile!   Another thing that I’ve noticed in our neighborhood are really kind chalk messages.  Today, your challenge is to leave something kind for others to see.  We all must continue to stay apart but it’s important to remember that we’re still here for each other and care very much.  So, let’s make someone SMILE from a DISTANCE since right now, it’s the best we can do! As always, stay healthy and stay active!   Smiles, Ms. Emert ❤️

Greetings Bobcats! Today is going to be a beautiful day! We woke up and the sun is shining! Did you know going outside and getting fresh air is great for your body!? The sun gives you a special vitamin called vitamin D. Vitamin D helps your immune system function properly. Our immune system is the system that helps fight off sickness. Vitamin D also helps your bones grow and get stronger. Similar to the challenge Mrs. Emert gave you yesterday, we challenge you to go outside today and do something that makes you happy! This morning we went out and played on our swing set! What makes you happy? Enjoy the beautiful day today! Enjoy Earth Day! Mrs. Ham

Terrific Tuesday! As many of you all, I am walking multiple times a day with my family I stay active.  Our dogs especially love the extra walks.  Lately, Ollie has been making his adventures a little more fun for him by carrying a stick.  He’s so happy as he walks proudly with his stick (can’t you tell?!?).  People passing laugh and comment on how the little dog has a stick again!  Today, I want to encourage you to think about how you can make an activity more enjoyable for YOU! Maybe it’s listening to your favorite music, anticipating a yummy healthy snack after or carrying your own cool walking stick on your family hike.  Whatever you do, have FUN, use your IMAGINATION and stay ACTIVE like Ollie!  Love, Ms. Emert

Happy Monday!! I hope you enjoyed your weekend and had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather! We did a lot of yard work this weekend. We cut down trees and mowed the grass. When doing our yard work we used our upper body muscles a lot! Especially when we used a saw to cut down the smaller trees. I know my biceps and triceps got a great work out! Do you remember where your biceps and triceps are located? I put a picture below to help you remember. I challenge you today to strengthen your biceps and triceps anyway you can! A few simple exercises are; shoulder taps, burpees, push-ups, bear crawl and crab walk! I hope you are ready for another great week of online learning! Remember you can email me or message me on seesaw anytime! Miss you tons! ---Mrs. Ham---

Happy Friday to All! I hope you have had a good first week of online learning! I know it is different but I am sure you did great! Today or this weekend, I challenge you to complete a mini scavenger hunt! Take a walk around your yard and see if you can find these three things; a stick longer than your hand, a flower and a circular rock. Below is a picture of my daughter and I finding flowers. You can send me a picture through seesaw of you finding some of these items! Have a great weekend! Stay active and keep smiling! -Mrs. Ham

Hello Bobcats! Today is Thankful Thursday! What are you thankful for? I hope you are thinking about making healthy choices! Some of our favorite snacks at my house are apples, bananas and cucumbers. Sometimes for breakfast we make fruit wraps. I learned about these wraps at Camp4Real a few years ago. At my house we use sunflower butter, which is very similar to peanut butter. We use our favorite fruits, sunflower butter and a tortilla wrap. We spread the sunflower butter, add the fruit and roll it up! This gives us food from 3 different food groups! Can you guess which groups? If you said grains, fruits and protein, you are correct! Have you ever made a fruit wrap? What are some of your favorite snacks? I challenge you to create a fruit creation and share it in the comments below. OR you can send me a message through seesaw! Stay Safe & Keep Smiling, Mrs. Ham
