During my summer school experience I am promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. We are growing our own vegetables in the school garden and using these vegetables to cook in many recipes. I’m also encouraging different forms of exercise; including hiking, soccer, baseball, jumping rope and running. Today’s students need to learn to maintain a healthy balance of study, video gaming and exercise.
The characters in The Sign of the Beaver are very active. Matt and his father cut the trees to make a clearing and build a log house using those trees. Matt and Attean hiked everywhere they went and would trek for miles in one day. Attean taught Matt how to leave unnoticeable markers so they could find their way back home after their journey. Matt joined Attean’s Indian tribe in a rough game of rugby and afterwards went swimming.
Each day during summer school my students will be doing some physical activity. I will take them to the school playground and allow them to choose a team sport or game to play. I will provide balls, ball-bats, jump ropes, chalk for hop-scotch, and a stop watch for racing. Students will not be required to participate in any activity they are not comfortable doing, but they may be encourage to try something new after seeing how much fun the other students are having. Hopefully, students will enjoy themselves enough to promote an active lifestyle at home and with their family.
