During health this week, first graders discussed Safety on Wheels. Students brainstormed things they use with wheels, and students came up with very expansive lists of ideas (including planes, tractors, cars, trucks, front loaders, bikes, scooters, skateboards, skates, and more!!)! We then talked about how some of these (bikes, scooters, skateboards, tricycles, roller skates, inline skates) involve physical activity. Using these things can be a part of our
60 minutes of physical activity each day!!
Then we discussed some basic safety rules with bikes, scooters, skateboards, and skates. Students did a fabulous job making connections to personal experiences!! We talked about WHY each of these rules is important to follow, and what could happen if these guidelines aren't followed.
