So far I have done lesson outing and it went smoothy. Jordan and I divided out what we were going to day and the activities we planned on doing that day. We do the lesson and small activities with them one day then we come back and doing exercises and read to them another day. The kids seemed to really enjoy it and were excited to hear that we were coming back. I am so happy that they really got into it and asked a lot of questions. They were wanting to learn more about healthy options and know what they are eating.
I am excited to go back and see how they do with the exercises and books we are planning to show them. Jordan and I knew kids spent a lot of time with screens but going to the classroom and hearing about the kids' daily habits really confirmed that. I think they are going to really benefit from these lesson plans and activities. I also think the teachers will follow up with them and see how they are changing their habits. We are excited to venture out to more classrooms and show them our lesson. We are contacting more teachers and trying to see what time works for both of our schedules. We are hoping the word spreads about our mission and more teachers will invite us to come talk with their class. Cannot wait to see where this goes!

Our project has been well received from teachers and kids already! Most of what we proposed on pitch day is what we have been doing and it all has fallen into place and is working. The teachers like the message and the kids have been having fun with it. I have done it once at Sugar Creek Elementary and it went well and we are going to return sometime soon to do more activities with them. We could fix some little things to improve it and make it flow better. I have learned a lot from doing this project from researching about it to listening to what the kids have to say about it.
Many kids today have too much access to a screen and get their entertainment from that. There are over 12 million kids that are obese and if they were more educated about what they're eating we can change that. We want kids to be active and some schools are taking away more and more recess time which causes them to be less active and can lead to being overweight. We want to travel to schools to explain the importance of recess and being active.
Kids can spend around 7 hours a day looking at a screen. We want them to get off their screen and get outside to be active. We hope to teach them new things they can do to be active.Our word for our mission is F.U.N. which stands for fitness, understanding, and nutrition. We want kids to know the importance of eating and being physically healthy. With the world today and most of our entertainment now is from a screen, we want to bring recess and simple activities back. We love being active and we want to bring that joy to others too. We also believe that nutrition is an important part of our lives and we need to make sure we are intaking all of the nutrients our bodies need. I'm excited to see the results and how the kids react to it! |
