Physical Activity Participation

Ms. Howard, the Program Advisor for HowarDECA, created a Walking Club within her classes and allowed students to take class time to walk up and down the halls of the school to promote fitness.  With this, she asked other teachers to let their students participate in the exercise break. The Walking Club plans to continue to take breaks for walking during the available classes, as well as meet daily after school to assure ample amount of time for physical activity.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

The students and adults worked together to assure that everyone participated actively and enjoyed their time walking outside of class activities.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

We plan to make this play last by allotting class time to take walking breaks and scheduling times to stay after school, promoting the correct amount of time staying active.
