I ask that every day you do the warm up stretches that you do in p.e. class with me.  Check off the box in correspondence with the date and activity. I have included some optional activities as well, that will keep you active longer. I know many of you don’t have equipment, I will try to post in the coming weeks, videos of throwing and catching and things we were planning on doing.  Do not go play away from the house by yourself.  Much of this can be done at home.
