| Allen at Steinbeck has really embraced the
fit for learning Model. Two staff members and one parent have become Site
Champions.
In October all students attended an
assembly on healthy and unhealthy habits. This included food, exercise,
sleep, schoolwork and more. Throughout the year classrooms have done
lessons on nutrition and visited the new personalized food pyramid.
Because of our involvement with fit for learning, we have started YOGA in one 5th grade classroom with an
instructor who has volunteered to work at our school. We hope to expand
this program for next year.
The YMCA is doing afterschool programs at
our site. One of those classes is called Healthy Eats. The course offers
students the opportunity to learn healthy eating habits and how to prepare
healthy snacks. Along with preparing their daily snack, students will also
complete a craft project based on the nutrition lesson of the day.
The YMCA is also offering a free movement
class. Our Music Support Committee is also offering an afterschool
International Dance Club one day a week.
We look forward to continuing to learn
and grow as a fit for learning School.
