PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - PHYSICAL EDUCATION!
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
Summer vacation can be an exciting and relaxing time for most people. Even though a break from the grind can be relaxing, some parts of a routine are important for kids to stick with all year round, including finding time for kids to exercise every day. Too much of a break can lead to unhealthy changes. It's a well-known fact that exercising daily has been shown to improve children's well-being, both mentally and physically. But, staying active benefits other systems as well. From decreasing stress and boosting self-esteem, to decreasing anxiety and improving sleep; exercise positively impacts your child across the health spectrum.
With the increasing reliance on technology and how easily accessible it is for kids, it is not difficult for them spend their summer vacation engrossed in video games, texting, and lounging in front of the television.To avoid the path of an unhealthy, sedentary summer break, it is important to encourage physical activity, to not only keep their bodies and brains healthy, but their development on track.
Warm weather provides a plethora of opportunities for fun fitness. Even if your child is not into sports, that doesn't mean they have to be "glued to the tube."
Here are some fun and easy ways to keep kids active this summer:
-
Have the children teach you a game or activity they have learned in Physical Education at RCS. (Volleyball, Newcomb, Tic Tac Toe Relay, Speedball, Handball, Frisbee, etc.)
-
Explore as many walking, biking, or hiking trails around Maryland as you can.
-
Plan an active or adventurous vacation such as camping, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc.
-
Take advantage of where we live! Go swimming, tubing, skiing, wakeboarding, etc.
-
Sign up for RCS summer camp!
-
Organize a neighborhood activity like Capture the Flag or a Scavenger Hunt.
-
Find places to pick fresh fruits and vegetables.
-
Do a walking tour of a new town or city you have never been to.
-
Schedule daily family walks. Don't forget pets need exercise too!
-
Plant a vegetable garden and work together as a family to maintain it.

Kodie from Little Creek's Toddler Room gives Ms. Armstrong a hug!
Ms. Aburn's Writing class and Mrs. Coppage's Reading classes combined to create stories, allowing the younger students to practice their storytelling and visualizing skills, while the older students practiced typing, editing, and adding detail.
Students from Span the World Enrichment recently created African masks and Mexican Papel Picado (for Cinco de Mayo!)
Little Creek's Two's Class enjoys time on Radcliffe's Nature Trail!
Mrs. Kirby's Discovery classes are learning about the rural village mud huts of Ghana! Students constructed their own model and used cinnamon dough as the "mud!"
Then, students got to play an authentic mancala that was brought back by Emy and Peter's grandmother who taught in the country next to Ghana!
Even more fun on the Nature Trail this week! Little Creek's Three's spotted a baby turtle on the playground during Physical Education, so they decided to take it back home to the wetlands and then go for a walk! Then Little Creek's Four's walked the trail to learn about trees and seeds, and created a journal about what they saw!
