Physical Education at Home!
While you are at home, take this time to practice your strength and agility with Yoga!
You can do some poses that we already learned at school such as: Tree Pose, Child's Pose, Cobra Pose, Chair Pose, Warrior Pose, and Superman Pose.
Or you can follow along with the photos and links listed below!
Online Yoga Resources

Here are some new Yoga poses to try!
Yoga at Home
What do you need to do Yoga at home? Not much!
A quiet space is ideal, but not completely necessary.
Yoga is best done barefoot or in socks.
Yoga can be done in the front yard, living room, or bedroom.
A Yoga mat is not necessary. Instead you can use a beach towel or bath towel.
While doing Yoga, students should work on their deep breathing and relaxation.
If you can, you should try and join your student too! Ask them what they have learned so far with Yoga. I bet they will have lots to share :)
PE From Home Week 2
Running!
This week our P.E. newsletter is going to be all about running! As the weather is getting warmer, running is a great and easy way to get out and get some good exercise.
Set a running goal for yourself.
Example #1: 1 Lap around the block on Monday, 2 Laps on Wednesday, 3 Laps on Friday
Example #2: Run for 6 minutes on Monday, 8 minutes on Wednesday, 10 minutes on Friday
Set a competition with a friend or sibling to see who can run longer, or even faster!
Tips for running outside
Tip #2- Do a warm up before you run (skipping, galloping, walking, jumping jacks)
Tip #3- Make sure to drink water before and after running
Tip #4- Do a walking cool down after your run for 2-3 minutes
Tip #5- Be sure to stretch after your run

P.E. from home week 4
Hi guys welcome back!
Just like last week's exercises, start off by doing a warm up run to get your body ready for activity. This can be a short run just up and down the driveway, or a long run around the block! Just remember to always run with a buddy or parent if you are choosing to run further away from home.
These new exercises can be done on their own, or added to the exercises from last week. Keep challenging yourself by doing more repetitions of your activity!
High Knees
Frog Jumps
Crab Walks
Planks
Hopping
Jump Rope
After your workout
Make sure to get moving every day!
Below is a picture of my husband and I on a hike to get our daily physical activity. We hope that you all are doing the same!
