The Dearborn Public Schools have set some requirements for all staff, students, and parents for on-line learning. During this time that all of us are at home trying to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally, the Dearborn Public Schools are providing opportunities for continued learning at home. To help us physically I have posted numerous links and videos to help guide and motivate our students (families) to have some fun and keep physically active. It is a proven fact that movement is good for all of us to limit stress, anxiety, improved focus, and overall fitness.

I have posted the following link https://youtu.be/CKUC8fcoB_A to introduce myself to any parent uncertain of who I am(Read through my About page to learn more if interested). Please remember going forward that I am a novice when it comes to creating videos so bare with me. I will be creating one new video each week that will contain a little bit of me (probably my puppy Wilson and my youngest daughter Kealani), a video clip with a movement activity, and a survey that has to be completed to receive participation credit. The survey is short but must be completed and submitted in order for me to give credit. The same video will be posted again on Thursday with a new survey. Please complete and submit again to get credit for two a weeK.

There are 8 weeks remaining which allows 16 opportunities to receive participation credit. I would like for all my students to complete at least 11 surveys to receive the top score. Even though I am providing two survey opportunities a week, I recommend trying to make physical activity part of your daily routine. If you would like to monitor all of your activities, use the fitness log chart and simply record what you are doing and when you are doing it.

I tried to make this as simple as possible to put the focus on educational materials and having fun moving at least twice a week.
