One of the most awesome parts of fit4Schools is the fitBoost section. Here classroom teachers have access to creating a three-minute MOVE and RECHARGE to get students active in the classroom. Each segment starts with a warm-up, then moves into a movement, and finally finishes with a cool down. The cool down segment is brilliantly placed to assist students in calming down to refocus on their school work. Don’t like the fitBoost you received? Simply select “Go Again” to get a different one! Of course, you can do more than one on rainy or bad weather days.
Additionally, fit4Schools has resources for students and families that will help them extend health lessons home from the school setting. This connection between school and home can create a united front to empower our students to make healthy choices every day for the rest of their lives. Like educators, parents can even register for an account to stay up-to-date about what their child is learning and how to reinforce lessons at home.
Right now, fit4Schools is running their fit Commit Sweepstakes! When teachers register on the fit4Schools website, they get 16 chances to win one of three prizes valued at $650. Teachers can choose from the Rainy Day Kit (for classrooms), Get Moving for PE Kit (for PE teachers), or Classroom Active Seating Kit. Everyone knows that active bodies lead to active brains in the classroom and all these prizes work to get students moving.
