Ms. Bruce, Mrs. Lograsso and I (Mrs. Masiarczyk) have created the lesson together. Before we start, let\u2019s look at some of the benefits of practicing yoga.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benefits of yoga:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>increased flexibility and balance<\/li><li>increased muscle strength and tone<\/li><li>can improve breathing<\/li><li>can improve focus&nbsp;<\/li><li>helps reduce stress and helps you to relax<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you press play and watch the video, find a calm and quiet place where you can practice yoga. If you have a yoga mat, use it, otherwise a rug with the nonslip rubber on the back will work. You do not want something that is slippery. Next, dim the lights, try to block out all other distractions and focus on the moves. READY? Now, watch the video. This is the video: <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vR3OPsDGAcveRobx7xR5SeBWEVpk11bRrpp2aGqz14KJDWRVKi4ukU0LW8kMcD11g\/pub?start=true&amp;loop=false&amp;delayms=10000\">https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vR3OPsDGAcveRobx7xR5SeBWEVpk11bRrpp2aGqz14KJDWRVKi4ukU0LW8kMcD11g\/pub?start=true&amp;loop=false&amp;delayms=10000<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to do for Mrs. Masiarczyk:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have completed the yoga activity please go to my blog and fill out the fitness log.The<strong> fitness log<\/strong> is on my blog, top right corner. Answer the questions and submit. There are only 5 questions. It is very easy to complete. <a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/masiarm\/\"><strong>Mrs. Masiarczyk&#8217;s PE Blog<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each day that you make an effort to be physically active for at least 20 minutes, please fill out the fitness log.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lately, a few students have emailed me asking if they have to send me a video. The answer to that is NO. I enjoy getting the videos and seeing all that you are doing, but if you cannot or are uncomfortable sending a video, that is not required. You do have to fill out the fitness log.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/masiarm\/\"><strong>Mrs. Masiarczyk&#8217;s PE Blog<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:masiarm@dearbornschools.org\"><strong>masiarm@dearbornschools.org<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/elementaryphysicaleducation\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to do for Mrs. Lograsso:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week you will be creating your own yoga pose and movement!

The goal is just to show the gesture, or movement- you don\u2019t need to add extra details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join all three of us, Mrs. Lograsso, Mrs. Masiarczyk, and Mrs. Bruce for an optional Big Blue Button Hangout on Tuesday! We will have a chance to chat, play a short game, and answer any questions you may have! This will be our last Big Blue Button for the year so we hope to see you there! Kindergarten, first, and second grades will be at 2:00. Third, fourth, and fifth grades will meet at 2:45. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gB1r3YQRI3A\">This sentence is a link to a video that shows how to log in to iLearn. <\/a>The enrollment code for this iLearn course is bryzs9 .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6\/1-6\/5 Each day, students should focus on one special area.
