If you have ever been interested in giving yoga a try here is your chance. Work on your breathing, stretching, and muscle strengthening. Have fun with this video and the others I posted on my blog.

While at home please use this exercise sheet to monitor your child’s physical activity. The chart is a 5 point system that would take 20 days to complete if done correctly. The instructions are in the handout. Please sign and bring back when school resumes. Mr.Tapp

This years April 18th event hast been postponed at this time. Running Fit ,the organization that run the event, is offering up some choices on what to due to possibly still have the event. The following are some choices that we will be discussing in the future when things become more clear and their is a better understanding of when it is safe to be in large groups again.

1.Possibly move the event to a summer date.

2.Transfer this years money towards next years 2021 event.

This process is fluid and won’t be determined for awhile but I wanted to update our run families at both DuVall and Long. Mr.Tapp

All of need to take time each day to move our bodies to stay physically and mentally sharp. Check out this short video from Trea Young NBA star for the Atlanta Hawks(there are numerous videos that play continuous, feel free to hit stop after Trea Young’s message).

Both Duvall and Long schools were about to begin our bowling program in the gym. My plan is to pick up where we left off when we get back. There is a great introduction to learning bowling on the website gobowling.com . Scroll down until you see the learn to bowl section and click on it. Make sure to take time each day for exercise and movement. Be safe and I look forward to seeing everyone when we get back. Mr Tapp

While the schools are closed and our students are at home it is still important for them to get daily exercise and movement. All of our students are aware of daily exercises that we do in the gym like scissor kicks,ski jumpers, jumping jacks,mountain climbers, and shoulder touches. These are all activities that can be done in your home and as part of a daily routine. Other activities that can be done at home include basic yoga, movement activities on GoNoodle, exercise videos designed for kids on you tube(see links below), going for walk(with parental guidance), and jumping rope(if you have a rope) .

Below is a link to the DuVall Remote Learning Resource Page.
