Get Moving!

The recommended amount of physical activity for children is at least 60 minutes per
day. Building Healthy Communities gets kids moving in four ways: (1) through a quality,
physical education curriculum, including new equipment, (2) encouraging students to be
active during recess, (3) offering short physical activity breaks in classrooms, and (4)
having a before– or after-school Healthy Kids Club which offers non-competitive
physical activity in a safe and supervised setting. Encourage your child to be physically
active at home and do LESS sitting around. Encourage them to turn the TV or computer
off to move around more in ways they enjoy. When you do watch TV, think of fun
movements to do during the commercials. Invite your kids to go with you when you walk
the dog or shovel snow. Maybe you can walk to school together instead of driving. You
will be surprised how easy it is to reach that 60-minute goal if you build physically
activity into your day at several different times. However you choose to do it, just get
moving!

March is Reading Month. March is Nutrition Month.

Health and reading go hand-in-hand! The Building Healthy Communities program
combines healthy eating education with reading in many ways. From sending home
healthy home works to reading nutrition labels in class, your child is developing in both
reading and health knowledge. There are also lots of ways to incorporate reading and
nutrition at home! Be on the lookout for the “Healthy Parent Tip Sheets” created by the
USDA and read them with your children. Visit your local library and get a book on the
importance of healthy eating and being physically active or pick out a cookbook and try
making a recipe together!

BINGO for BOOKS Donations
