National Walk to School Day


Today was National Walk to School Day, October 3, 2018.  On this day, children are encouraged to walk to school with a friend or adult using a safe route.  Unfortunately, this was not a very conducive day to walk to school since it was School Picture Day, so we did some walking in Physical Education.  We did a warm-up activity called Walkie-Talkie.  Children walked together with a friend and discussed a topic that I chose.  Today's topic was "Where did you go over the summer?"  In the end, each student had to tell me 1-2 sentences that described their partner's story.  This encouraged listening to one another.  This is such an important learned skill.
