The "Mighty Mile" Walking Club

In an effort to stay healthy and active, we started out our day by going straight to the track every morning.  Students received a sticker each time they completed a lap, and a hawaiian lei each time they completed a mile.  Words cannot describe how awesome it was to see our students excitement for fitness!  We were able to see them completely transform from barely making a lap in the beginning, to completing miles by the end of the 6 weeks!  They were unstoppable!!

Another component to our  "Mighty Mile" was math and graphing.  We kept a graph each day of our laps so that we could track our progress over the 6 weeks and figure out our total miles.  We also thought it would be interesting to see how many miles we could walk all together for the 6 weeks and .........

DRUM ROLL PLEASE...........

with 26 students.... 5 teachers.... and 6 weeks...

our class total for miles walked/ran came to:

334  3/4 Miles!

Think of it this way:  We could have walked to Chicago and back again!

Simply amazing!!!!

Way to go troops!  We're pretty sure that we've found some future track stars amongst the bunch!!  

*Remember to do something active for your body everyday to keep it happy and healthy!!  You all rock!
