BEYOND Fit Kids
What does BEYOND Fit Kids have going on in September?
Seas the Days of September and Dive on in!
This month we are zipping up our scuba gear and submerging into the deep blue sea! Ted the TUMBLESUBMARINE has prepared everything that we will need for out vast adventure where we will meet and learn about our underwater friends. Ted has told us that Teddy has been working very hard to keep our minds and bodies healthy so we can become even stronger when we surface back up. From learning about the different things spotted at the bottom of the sea such as an ancient pirate ship that sunk long ago; to discovering all the different kinds of animals around us, to learning how to use our bodies to move in different directions underwater. We are learning so much about what's found deep down under! You can believe that Teddy has taught us so much already. In the misted of all of the education about the different wild life, Teddy has also introduced us to one of his friends that he made underwater. His name is Fredrick and he is a clown fish! Although he only has one eye, Fredrick teaches us that having only one eye doesn’t limit his capabilities and that we shouldn’t limit ourselves either. Although a lot of the animals are very beautiful, Fredrick has been teaching us about respect. He has reminded us that we are in the homes of the sea animals and have to show respect by enjoying their beauty from a distance. The story that Fredrick has picked out for us this Week is “The Rainbow Fish”. He loves telling this story to encourage other children to share so they can also feel joy through giving to other people. Teddy sure does love seeing all of the excitement about the different animals and learning new skills. Teddy says where there is belief, there will be accomplishments, and when there are accomplishments, excitement will follow!
Here are a few underwater snap shots taken inside TED the TUMBLESUBMARINE
Our Underwater Workout Circuit : Building Lower Body Strength
We will step in and out of the Jelly Fish Ladder, step over the hot coral reefs, lung across the sea stones, lift our high knees across the barnacle buckets, and bound over the seaweed leaves.
“The Stormy Whale”
We're reading a story about how a friend seeks out to help a whale that was washed up on the beach after a storm. The little boy takes care of him until he is all better. But then he learns to love the whale from a distance because the whale must go back home.
Jumping over the Pirate Plank!
Jump up high so our feet don’t touch as we make it across the plank.
Crab shuffling in Sea Urchin Waters
We are learning how to move side ways bringing our feet out and together to get to a destination before turning directions.
"Don’t Touch the Blue it might Sting You!"
Here we are working on coordinating our bodies to move forwards and backwards as we’ll go down the Jellyfish Ladder.
Story Time with Fredrick: “The Rainbow Fish”
During this story we find out why it is good to share and how sharing can teach us to discover happiness by giving to others.
