Wednesday April 29, 2009 we went to Monroe Elementary and Knapp Elementary for the Walking Wednesday Events. It was so much fun! I learned that the kids love to be active, as well as help out. I had kids volunteering to help put up
decorations and running around all over the place. The
competitiveness between the kids was a beautiful thing too! They were trying to compete against eachother by seeing who could run around the field the most times. The class with the most participants received the wonderful baby shoes trophy with my wonderful slogan,
"Baby Steps To Good Health".
So what I learned about the kids walking away from this project was, if you provide them the opportunity to be active, they definitely will. Kids like to run around, so as long as we don't hold them back and allow them to be "kids", that is exactly what they will do. Now all we have to do is make sure they leave the candy alone and pick up an
apple!
