I was awarded a classroom set of WalkKits in January. We put them into action right away.
The students were so excited and able to adapt to the routine very quickly. We began using the Walking Classroom to supplement our L/A curriculum, but starting next week, we will be taking it to the next level and accessing science and social studies podcasts as well.
In years past, I have taken my students for “health/fitness” walks during our health/nutrition unit. This has worked well for allowing my students to experience a fitness walk and inspiring them to get healthier. But this year I can now add the podcasts to our walk, which will benefit them so much more. I’m so excited to have them learning while walking.
Can’t believe I didn’t think of this myself! It’s such an awesome idea and well put together program. Cognitive development and fitness at the same time….such a great combination!
