During each week of this Ongoing class, your learner will enjoy a different story with fun characters and compelling escape predicaments.  After meeting the character/s and finding out their problem, students will travel together through all of the "skills rooms".  Using their basic skills (numbers, patterns, basic addition, basic subtraction, and one class with the alphabet), they will unlock the "codes", perform the fitness task, and free the story character/s. 

Learners will be given time to complete the codes by recording their answers on an erasable white board or using paper and pencil.  SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN AS NEEDED along the way.  Learners will take turns revealing the codes and leading the count for the fitness exercise.  Once the code has been unlocked, and the fitness skill is completed, the class will move together to the next "clue" (math problem).   At several points during the skills practice portion of class, we will check back in with the story characters to celebrate our success in helping them "escape"!

EXAMPLES of the FITNESS SKILLS include activities such as:  
20 one foot hops 
20 jumping jacks 
twisting 20 X 
30 second plank hold
10 toe touches
30 seconds of jogging in place
 
Schedule and examples of the PREREQUISITE EARLY SKILLS: 
NOTE:  This is a "practice" class, not an initial instruction of skills class, but support and strategies are given when needed.
