Live Healthy Iowa - The Interlude Dance!


As we participate in Live Healthy Iowa, we are trying to take more "brain
breaks" during which we physically move our bodies at school.  Today the
students were introduced to "The Interlude" - a dance created by some
students at UNI that has become very popular.  Below is a link to an article
about The Interlude, as well as a link to "how to do the interlude" taught
by the UNI students.  The kids had a GREAT time dancing today, and requested
that I send the links home.



On Fridays we are going to dance the interlude as an entire school during
morning announcements.


In addition, the kids have done a GREAT job remembering to keep track of
their fruits and minutes of physical activity (even with a snow day)!  Some
are bringing their info on a note from home to help them remember.  If your
child would like to do this, that's fine (but don't feel you have to).
