Due to the pandemic there will be no school till April 13. Please look to the Dearborn Public Schools website for any official information.
Please keep your child active!
Kids love to be outside running, riding bikes, playing catch, kicking a ball back and forth, keeping a ball or balloon in the air, walking, blowing bubbles, pretending to be somewhere or somebody else, and anything else you can think of. Also, simple things like just taking a walk to run an errand or walking just to spend quality time together.
If stuck inside you can still get your kids moving safely, Going up and down the stairs for 5 minutes or dancing to music will get your heart going. You can find a yoga or kids exercise video on You Tube, Net Flix or any other way to watch t.v. Old fashioned push ups, sit ups, and jumping jacks are great as well as stretching. Playing with balloons will keep things from getting broken if you have a bit of room. Also, balancing can be fun, have your child do one foot, then the other, then opposite hand and foot, etc. Balancing an item on a body part and walking around is nice and safe and will keep your child off the screen time.
Please be creative to keep your child moving and healthy. They may fight you but your child will benefit much more from quality time with you rather then any kind of screen time!
