Snowshoeing

The students at Pathfinder Village School are rock stars at snowshoeing. The weather has improved recently so that some of the students were able to try out snowshoes for the first time this year.

With concerns about wind-chill, our classes may have only been out for a few minutes, but some students were going on adventures. Many students created their own paths, walked around the playground, or went into the center of the bicycle path. Students even waved “hello” through the school windows to their classroom peers.  When the temperature was too low students stayed inside and learned about snowshoeing equipment and how to dress for the outdoors.  (Snowshoes, hats, gloves, jackets, snow pants, boots, scarves, poles for walking, etc.)

This week fitness was a focus of our P.E. classes. Students learned how to use the treadmills and stationary bicycles, and recorded their personal data, including:

- Date exercised

- Equipment used (bike or treadmill)

- Time (How long did you exercise for?)

- Distance (How far did you walk or bike?)

In the future I look forward to students graphing the distances that they walk and calculating how many miles the classes walk together.  Below you will see pictures of students using the treadmills, and even a fun kickball game from last week!

Keep active!
