Suitcase for Time




Week 3 Missions:
1.  Write down one fun thing you want to do after school and plan when you are going to do it
2.  Do one of your chores or responsibilities before school so you can do something you want to do after school
3.  With your parents, plan out your chores, responsibilities, and the coolest weekend ever!
4.  Organize your room and your homework study area
5.  Write down the hours you spend on the phone and computer, then compare it to the hours you spend reading and studying (gotta have balance!)


Any students who complete the 5 missions - post the successful week on Facebook for everyone to see and congratulate!

This is an amazing study! PE equals smarter kids!

There was a study in America that tied higher scores in a number of subjects with physical fitness!  The kids that had a good P.F. program actually became smarter - and it stuck with them into middle and high school!  That's cool!

Teachers said that the kids became more focused and there's a grant that is being used to come up with a better P.E. fitness test and programs that teachers can use to get the kids up and out of their chairs to "deskercise" during class!

Awesome!  I'm glad there are people that believe in this like we do and are trying to make a difference!
