I have pledged to join SHAPEAmerica in getting 50 million kids active for 60 minutes a day by the year 2029. We offer many opportunities for students and families to be physically active at the Integrated Arts Academy. Before school three days a week you can join us at 7:45 a.m. to Move it! Move it! on the IAA outdoor track and even enjoy a fresh fruit or vegetable in our gardens. I have worked to encourage all teachers at the IAA to participate in brain breaks in their classroom through videos and other activities to engage learners and awaken their bodies and minds. My goal is three 5 minute brain breaks a day. IAA students also have an opportunity to access the playground before lunch for 25 minutes. Each student has Physical Education class two times a week for at least 3o minutes a class. I would love to see the total minutes increase to 90 minutes a week!
What else can we do? Will you help? Join me by committing to at least ten minutes a day of physical activity. All we have to do is start! Thoughts and ideas are much appreciated. Follow us on Twitter @DLVierling and the hashtags #commit2ten #iaavt
