45 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Have your child grab their favorite stuffed animal for this class as their exercise buddy! This 45-minute class will start with a warm-up where the learners will be guided through an imaginative storyline to move their bodies and exercise buddy. Next, we will play Escape Room to work on some gross motor skills such as jumping, balancing, tossing and catching as well as locomotor movements (skip/gallop/tiptoe). Once we have escaped, we will celebrate with a dance party with their buddy followed by three yoga challenges to help cool and calm the body. The remaining minutes of class will be reserved for a share and tell session. Escape Room will be shared with learners with Google Slides. Learners will each have a turn to practice map skills through choosing which direction on the map to travel. "Getting lost" means everyone performs the exercise listed to get back on track. Emphasis will be placed on the safety of each exercise. I will be moving with the children through each exercise to give them a visual. Due to the physical nature of this class, there will be little verbal communication from students to teacher during the movement part of the class. Instead, I will be checking for understanding through visual checks of the student's participation.
Learning Goals
Students will increase their heart rate and burn energy through several fitness exercises with and without their stuffed animals.
