Mrs. Renz's 4th Grade Class  Redmond, Oregon

 

 

2009-2010 School Year Update

Our students are taking charge of their own fitness!  This year due to district-wide budget cuts, our Music and PE specialists were eliminated, so our ExerLearning program has students taking charge of their own fitness!  Thanks to the leadership and expertise of local fitness expert, Judy Shasek, students will be running the first ever ExerLearning Lab, the first one in the nation and the one from which all others will learn and model from.

 

Students use the dance mats and ExerLearning Foot Pads to control games as part of our Music and PE program.  These highly aerobic exercise involve connecting the mind with the body in coordination with the rhythm of the music.

 

It's a great workout and our many of our students have earned  a spot in our 200+ Combo Club. This means students were able to step accurately to the fast pace of the song and move their body 200+ times without an error.  Try it!  It's not easy to stay that focused, but our students are now masters!

 

Thank you, Playnormous, for the Monster iMac!
