If you aren't back before time is up, you don't get any points for that round. In between each round, see if you can answer the health trivia questions. How many points can you score in this challenge?

LINE JUMP WORKOUT FOR KIDS

- Feet together
- Low jumps, landing on the balls of your feet (right under your toes)
- Straight body (like a lollopop!)
- Land softly (like you're landing on a cloud - no elephant landings!)

STRANGER DANGER
Who is a stranger? A stranger is anybody who you do not know. Even if a stranger calls you by your name, or says they know you or your grown-up - if you do not know the person, then that person is a stranger. So, what do you do if a stranger approaches you? Watch this cool music video from The Learning Station and find out!
HEALTH LESSON: Grades K-5:
HEALTHY & NOT-SO-HEALTHY FATS
Since we are all spending a lot of time in our homes, it's important that we are aware of the foods and drinks we are putting into our bodies each and everyday. We learned in last week's Health lesson about Healthy Snacking, and why it's so important to think about the foods and drinks we fuel our bodies with each day. Just like a car needs gasoline to go the distance, our bodies need to be fueled with nutritious foods and beverages so that we can be at our best all day long!
Watch this short video from Ilaria St. Florian, MS, RD. Miss Ilaria is the Manager of the KIDS' FANS nutrition program that is offered to our 3rd graders each year at all of the Stamford Public Schools. She is graciously offering additional health lessons in the form of short videos to all of our students during our Distance Learning time. In this video, you will learn about healthy and not-so-healthy fats. Did you know there are fats that are healthy? There are some fats that are good for your body! Listen to this neat video and learn how you can differentiate between the healthy and the not-so-healthy fats!
Remember to log your activities and minutes into your Weekly P.E. Activity & Health Log and submit it to Mrs. Spinner and Mrs. Iacono no later than 3:00 p.m. on Friday!
