Week 10

Highlights:

  • This week our wellness goal was to see how many minutes of physical movement breaks we could do throughout the day. So far we have accumulated 20 minutes.

We start with a high intensity movement, then focused strength, then a calming down activity to help us get ready to return to learning.
