Wednesday While keeping 2 meters social distance from others, go for a 15-20 minute walk with a family member around your neighborhood. Walk a block then jog on the next block. See if you can walk 5 blocks and jog 5 blocks. Thursday Dancing is such a great way to increase your cardiovascular endurance. We have been working on increasing the number of minutes that we can sustain participation for within each grade level. Let's Dance - Try all of your favourite songs! Friday Stretching enhances your flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. Today’s challenge is to try to make all of the letters of the alphabet with your body! How long can you keep your balance for each letter? Cool down with some of your favourite stretches! Don’t forget to get outside and be active whenever you can! Mr. Brennan​
