3-5
MONDAY

AEROBIC WORKOUT

** 30-60 minutes of aerobic activity (that means something to get your heart rate up).

Ideas could be:

Running/Jogging

Fast walking

Bike riding

Jumping Rope

Workout video

Anything else you can think of to do at a pace that will increase your heart rate and keep it up for the expected amount of time

**Note: We know that many of you will not be able to do some of these activities for 30 minutes (minimum) straight...so you will need to use your own judgement as to how to break it up.  For example:

Running/Jogging: If you can only run for 5 minutes straight...then run for 5 and then walk for 5; run for 5, walk for 5 etc.  If you can do 10...then run for 10, walk for 10, etc.

Jumping Rope:  Try jumping for 1-2 minutes at a time, then take a break for that amount of time and repeat until you have hit your time goal!

Try to challenge yourself to increase your number of minutes!!

TUESDAY

STATION WORKOUT

Each station should be 30 seconds long.  Look through this list of stations and choose any EIGHT you would like to do.  You will go through your station list that you have chosen THREE TIMES.  Do station #1 for 30 seconds then take a 15 second break before starting station #2.  Repeat this pattern until you have finished your eight stations THREE TIMES!  The total workout should take just under 18 minutes!

Station Choices:

Push-ups

Crunches

Burpees

Russian Twist

Plank

Jumping Jacks

Mountain Climbers

Wall Sit

Side Plank (right side)

Easy to grow plants

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Growing a garden yields more than just delicious, nutritious treats. Cultivating your own plants, whether to eat them or simply admire their beauty, is good for your overall well being. The labor of tending to your plants boosts physical health, as it's an excellent way to exercise, and spending time among nature is shown to reduce stress. If you're looking to get your hands dirty-and start growing your own food-check out these 10 plants that don't require an expert green thumb.

1. Pansies

These hardy flowers are tough to kill-in most areas of the United States, pansies are resilient enough to survive winter temperatures. More than 300 varieties of pansies exist, including several that have been specifically bred for really hot or really cold environments.

The ideal time to plant pansies is when the soil temperature is around 50° to 60°F (August for the northern parts of the country to October in the southern), but you can also set yours out in the early spring. You can purchase fully grown plants at most gardening stores and deposit them directly into the ground. If you plan on growing some from seeds, place each one in moist soil spaced 7 to 12 inches apart.

In colder states, pansies do best in direct sunlight. If you live in a warm state like Georgia or Texas, give the flowers some shade -strategically plant them so they can spend three to four hours in the shadows per day and make sure that they get an inch of water each week.

2. Tomatoes

According to the National Gardening Association, nearly nine out of 10 American household vegetable gardens have at least one tomato plant. Germinating tomato plants need a constant soil temperature of 65° to 80°F, and seeds should be planted six to eight weeks before your area's projected last frost date. Given these requirements, you'll most likely have to start indoors (or buy tomato plants from your local garden center).

First, you'll need one container for every two seeds. (While it's possible to raise all the seeds in the same pot, this makes the young plants harder to remove when the time comes to transplant them.) Plastic or Styrofoam cups work well; make a couple small holes in the bottom of each one for drainage and fill the containers with a good potting mix. Then, place the seeds about a quarter of an inch beneath the surface. Mist the dirt with water (make it moist, but not soggy) and maintain a constant 70° to 80°F room temperature, and within 10 days, the little plants will sprout. They'll need plenty of sunlight; if possible, put the plants by a south-facing window or, in windowless homes, use artificial grow lights.

As soon as the plants sprout four leaves apiece, move them into bigger containers-pots with a height of 4 to 6 inches will be perfect. Meanwhile, find a nice, sunny section of your garden outside. One week before the last frost date, till the soil until it's loose. Then, dig a trench about 6 or 8 inches deep. After the last frost date finally arrives and the dirt has warmed, throw in 3 inches of compost. Cover that with some extra soil and then transplant your seedlings there.

Like pansies, tomatoes come in many varieties, which offer fruits of every shape and size. Depending on what kind you're growing, you'll want to arrange the young plants anywhere from 12 to 48 inches apart. Consult the seed package or a neighborhood gardening store for an exact number. By the way, novice gardeners may want to choose varieties that yield smaller fruits (like cherry tomatoes). If left to their own devices, medium or large fruits may rot prematurely. Preventing this will require tethering your plants to stakes or cages for support. That's not too difficult, but it is an extra step.

3. Basil

Tomatoes and basil make for a great combination in spaghetti sauces, and in your garden, the two plants may help each other grow. According to many amateur and professional gardeners, basil serves as a natural bug repellent that drives off unwanted insects that might otherwise eat the herb-or munch on your tomato fruits. Some also speculate that planting the two near each other somehow gives the tomatoes a much better flavor. Garden-raised basil needs plenty of sunlight and should be arranged accordingly. Plant the seeds at least 12 inches apart six weeks before the last frost comes along. Water them lightly whenever the soil feels dry and you'll have a healthy plant that will keep giving you delicious leaves all summer long. Mangia!

4. Mint

Mint, another hardy herb, is ridiculously easy to grow. In fact, mint does so well outdoors that the biggest challenge associated with it is keeping the plant from taking over your whole garden. But before we get into that, let's talk logistics. Mint needs damp soil with good drainage, and it tends to do best when kept in an area that receives a moderate amount of shade during the day.

Under favorable conditions, the herb's specialized stems-known as "runners"-shoot out in all directions. Left unchecked, the runners will devour every inch of available real estate, sometimes conquering entire lawns in the process. For this reason, many people grow their outdoor mints in clay pots from which the roots can't escape. But if you want to put yours in a multi-species garden, plant it on the inside of a long, tubular container with an open bottom and thick walls. An 18-inch metal stove pipe buried vertically with its uppermost inch poking out above the surface would be perfect. Patio edges and driveways can also be effective root barriers.

5. Sunflowers

Whether you're hungry for their seeds or just like to look at them, sunflowers are a terrific choice for first-time gardeners. They don't need much in the way of fertilizing, they can thrive in all but the soggiest soils, and they're extremely adept at weathering droughts. As the common name implies, these flowers do require direct, unimpeded sunlight. Plant yours out in the open, and be sure to keep them a fair distance away from any other plants you might be cultivating, as a row of tall sunflowers can throw unwanted shade onto neighboring veggies.

To get started, wait until the last frost date has passed in the spring and then plant your seeds in 1-inch holes. For best results, space these at least 6 inches apart-or, if you're dealing with a larger species, up that figure to 24 inches. Water well after planting.

6. Radishes

An ideal cool-weather crop, radishes develop spicy bulbs during the chillier months of spring and autumn. Arrange the seeds at least an inch apart in half an inch of loose, moist, and well-lit dirt. They'll grow fast: Certain radishes may be ready for harvest just 22 days after planting, although other varieties may need up to 70. Once yours begin sprouting leaves, thin out the rows by plucking every other radish. A new row may be planted in early spring or late summer, depending on when you plan to dig your vegetables up and eat them.

7. Potatoes

The average American eats roughly 114 pounds of these tasty tubers per year. With spud cultivation, you don't have to worry about planting seeds. Instead, the objective here is to find a potato tuber that's grown a few buds that are around one quarter to one third of an inch in length. Cut the potato into chunks, leaving at least one bud on each segment. Before you move on from there, store these wedges indoors at room temperature for 48 to 72 hours.

If you've got a lot of space to work with, you can grow potatoes in vast rows across your backyard. (For instructions on how to do that, see here.) But if space is limited, you can cultivate potato plants in bottomless half-bushel baskets. Alternatively, as Janice Stillman of the Old Farmer's Almanac explains in this video, a trash can with some holes drilled into the base also make for effective containers. In any event, you'll need to start out shortly after the last spring frost. Take your barrel or basket and place it in a sunny locale. Fill it with loamy potting soil and bury the chunks 2 to 4 inches beneath the surface. Give them an inch of water every week and they'll be ready to harvest by midsummer. Home-made French fries, here we come!

8. Spinach

Popeye's favorite food is one of the best cold-weather crops a gardener could ask for. Four to six weeks before the last frost date in your area, you'll need to kick things off by following a process called priming: Soak some seeds in water for 24 hours. Take them out and let them dry off on a paper towel for a day or two, then seal the seeds in an airtight zip-lock bag and keep them in a cool room for up to one week. When their week-long stint in a cool room is up, sow the seeds in an inch of tilled soil that has a temperature below 70°F. You can start harvesting your spinach leaves whenever they reach the desired size.

9. Marigolds

As far as flower-growing is concerned, marigolds definitely fall into the fool-proof category. Wait to plant their seeds until after the spring frosts have come to an end. Just about any bedding type will suit them, although moist, well-drained soils are preferable. Marigold enthusiasts usually get their seeds by purchasing them in packets, which come with specific instructions about spacing and other topics. Cover the seeds with a small amount of dirt, don't let the soil get too dry, and uproot some of the seedlings as needed. In exchange for this minimal effort, you'll get vibrant flowers that will stick around until football season.

10. Zucchinis

Not only are zucchinis super easy to grow, they're also amazingly prolific. Within a few short weeks, your garden will be churning out enough to feed a small army. To get going, dig a row of inch-deep holes in the earth at some point between early spring and midsummer (although in practice, one or two plants will probably be enough). The depressions should be spaced about 3 feet apart, with each crater housing two or three seeds. Make sure the dirt is warm and keep it moist at all times ( regular mulching will help you with that). Six to eight weeks later, you can start harvesting. And because new zucchinis sprout to replace the squashes that have been plucked, you'll soon have quite a yield on your hands. Within a single season, a solitary plant can generate 10 pounds' worth of zucchinis.

10 Easy-to-Grow Plants for First-Time Gardeners

When a strong earthquake triggered Mount St. Helens's colossal volcanic explosion on May 18, 1980, the blast obliterated every object within a six-mile radius. It remains the United States's most powerful, and the world's fifth most destructive, volcanic event in recent history. Here are more facts to mark the 40th anniversary of the Mount St. Helens eruption.

1. Mount St. Helens is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Mount St. Helens is part of the chain of 160 active volcanoes around the Pacific Rim known as the Ring of Fire. It sits on top of the subduction zone where the oceanic Juan de Fuca tectonic plate slips under the North American plate. It's a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano: a steep-sided volcano with a cone made up of layers of lava, ash, and debris. Stratovolcanoes are considered more dangerous than shield volcanoes, which are created by slow lava flows and feature more gentle slopes. (The Hawaiian islands are a chain of shield volcanoes.) Stratovolcanoes tend to erupt explosively, and their steep sides are prone to landslides, avalanches, and sometimes even collapse.

2. Mount St. Helens was named for a British diplomat.

Mount St. Helens isn't named after a saint-it was named by George Vancouver, the British naval explorer who charted the Pacific Northwest in the 1790s, for his friend, Baron St Helens. The baron, whose given name was Alleyne Fitzherbert, served as a diplomat for the British government in Brussels, Paris, Russia, Spain, and elsewhere. Among some of the indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest, the volcano is known as Louwala-Clough (Smoking Mountain), Lawetlat'la (Smoker), and Nsh' Ak'w (Water Coming Out).

3. Mount St. Helens has been erupting for a long, long time.

Mount St. Helens has gone through a number of eruptive stages over its lifetime, beginning 275,000 years ago. That's relatively young for a volcano-a number of volcanoes formed by the Hawaiian hot spot are tens of millions of years old. However, volcanoes change drastically over their lifetimes: Most of the modern Mount St. Helens cone that is visible now formed during the last 3000 years, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

4. Mount St. Helens is the most active volcano in the Cascade Range.

Mount Baker, Mount Shasta, Mount Rainier, Mount Hood, Glacier Peak, and Lassen Peak are also active volcanoes in the Cascades, but the most recent activity among them was at Lassen Peak in the early 1900s. Mount St. Helens is the youngest among the Cascade volcanoes, too, which is why it shows fewer signs of erosion than neighbors like Mount Rainier or Mount Hood.

5. The cataclysmic 1980 explosion of Mount St. Helens was the volcano's first major eruption in more than 100 years.

Prior to 1980, the last major explosive eruption of Mount St. Helens on record occurred in 1800. There were several minor explosions throughout the early 19th century up until 1857, when the volcano became dormant once again. This period of volcanic activity created what became known as the Goat Rocks Dome, which was part of Mount St. Helens's distinctive silhouette until it was destroyed in the 1980 eruption.

6. The 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption is still the most powerful volcanic eruption in U.S. history.

On the morning of May 18, 1980, a 5.1-magnitude earthquake caused a massive landslide-the largest debris avalanche in history-on the north face of Mount St. Helens. In the volcanic eruption that followed, the lateral blast destroyed every living and non-living thing within six miles of the volcano. The deadly pyroclastic surge -a fast-moving, super-hot cloud of ash, rock, and volcanic gas-traveled as much 18 miles away from the blast. The hot lava, gas, and debris mixed with melting snow and ice to form massive volcanic mudflows that surged down into valleys with enough force to rip trees from the ground, flatten homes, and completely destroy roads and bridges. Rivers rose rapidly, flooding surrounding valleys. Ash fell from the sky as far away as the Great Plains. Two-hundred-and-fifty miles away, ash blanketed Spokane, Washington, in complete darkness.

7. A Mount St. Helens volcanologist likely saved hundreds of lives.

Fifty-seven people died as a result of the eruption, though the number could have been much higher. Volcanologist David Johnston was an advocate for restricting access to the volcano when, in early 1980, an increase in seismic activity signaled that an eruption might be imminent. Johnston died when the observation post from which he was monitoring Mount St. Helens was destroyed. "The volcano-monitoring effort of which Dave was part helped persuade the authorities first to limit access to the area around the volcano, and then to resist heavy pressure to reopen it, thereby holding the May 18 death toll to a few tens instead of hundreds or thousands," according to the authors of the 1982 U.S. Geological Survey professional paper about the disaster.

8. The eruption changed the appearance of Mount St. Helens forever.

Prior to the 1980 eruption, Mount St. Helens had a symmetrical, snow-covered cone that gave it the nickname the "Mount Fuji of America." The peak stood 9677 feet tall. But the lateral blast changed its appearance considerably: The top 1300 feet of the summit was destroyed by the eruption and landslide. Now, the volcano sports a north-facing, horseshoe-shaped crater that contains a lava dome and a glacier.

9. Mount St. Helens was made into a national volcanic monument in 1982.

10. Mount St. Helens has been shrinking.

A 1982 survey measured the summit of the volcano at 8365 feet tall. As of 2009, it measured 8330 feet. The shrinkage is probably the result of erosion and collapses of crater walls.

11. Mount St. Helens is not done erupting.

The U.S. Geological Survey still rates Mount St. Helens's threat potential as "very high" because of the potential for eruptions and the number of nearby communities that those eruptions could impact. The volcano is just over 50 miles from Portland, Oregon, and less than 100 miles from Seattle. The 1980 eruption destroyed all structures around the nearby tourist destination of Spirit Lake, including more than 200 houses and cabins. Mount St. Helens's most recent volcanic activity stretched from 2004 to 2008, during which the volcano grew a new lava dome and periodically released plumes of steam and ash. There were few significant explosions before the volcanic activity died down in 2008.

While the U.S. Geological survey warns that Mount St. Helens will likely explode again during our lifetimes, the agency predicts that an explosion of the magnitude of the 1980 eruption is unlikely. However, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory and the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network carefully monitor seismic data, gas emissions, changes in the ground surface, and other factors around Mount St. Helens to forecast potential volcanic activity.

30-60 minutes of aerobic activity (that means something to get your heart rate up).

Ideas could be:

Running/Jogging

Fast walking

Bike riding

Jumping Rope

Workout video

Anything else you can think of to do at a pace that will increase your heart rate and keep it up for the expected amount of time

**Note: We know that many of you will not be able to do some of these activities for 30 minutes (minimum) straight...so you will need to use your own judgement as to how to break it up.  For example:

Running/Jogging: If you can only run for 5 minutes straight...then run for 5 and then walk for 5; run for 5, walk for 5 etc.  If you can do 10...then run for 10, walk for 10, etc.

Jumping Rope:  Try jumping for 1-2 minutes at a time, then take a break for that amount of time and repeat until you have hit your time goal!

Try to challenge yourself to increase your number of minutes!!

TUES/THURS
Jump: to push oneself off of the ground and into the air by using the muscles in BOTH of   your legs and feet

Make your own HOPSCOTCH courts!

Materials: Chalk and a small stone or stick

~Grab some sidewalk chalk and design your own hopscotch court on your driveway, and then one on the sidewalk. The driveway hopscotch court will be for you to use, and the sidewalk court will be for anyone who is walking by to use. You do not have to write just numbers; Use letters, shapes, drawings….be creative and have fun!

~If you would like, write your name and classroom teacher’s name next to your hopscotch court on the sidewalk so people can see who designed it as they are walking by.

~Remember to hop on one foot when there is only one square and jump on two feet when there are two squares next to each other.

Have you ever wondered what it was like for Mozart to compose so many songs when he was just a kid?  Well, It took Alma Deutscher just four notes and 40 seconds to improvise a piano sonata right before "60 Minutes" cameras. That alone is remarkable -- but she was also just 12 years old.

Improvise is when you make it up as you go along.  She made up this sonata right on the spot at 12 YEARS old!!!    Wow, I think I was still learning a scale when I was 12.

Kindergarten Webquests

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
htm This WebQuest is called Christmas Bear and His Five Senses. It is a story that teaches students about the five senses. It is offered in text but also in audio for the Kindergarten Communication Arts students. It aligns with the GLE of Respond to examples of sensory details within the context of nonfiction text with assistance. I liked this WebQuest because students also have to follow directions by pressing where the audio instructs in order to listen to the whole story. The story explains the five senses with great pictures that students will enjoy. #2- http://www.tvokids.com/games/coincombo This WebQuest is called Coin Combo Game; it was the one that appealed me the most. The GLE is Identify and know the value of a penny, nickel, dime and quarter. This is for Kindergarten math students. This WebQuest includes a game in which it gives you a quantity and you have to click all the coins that make that quantity. When you get one correct it takes you to another challenge with numbers a bit bigger. If you dont answer correctly, then you must start from the beginning. It is very eye appealing as well as fun. I am sure students would really enjoy this. It is a great way for the students to show their skills of how well they know how to count money. #3- http://www.earobics.com/gamegoo/games/tina2/tina2.html The WebQuest of Can You Follow Directions? Tinas World 2 is self explanatory of what is to be done. Tina, a cartoon character, explains what she is wanting and what has to be done in order to achieve it. This WebQuest pertains to Kindergarten and in the subject of Communication Arts. The GLE is to listen or simple directions, with teacher assistance. This Webquest really appealed me because it is very easy for the teacher to explain what the WebQuest will be about. Tina, the girl who does the talking in the Webquest, gives examples of how she can find a bug. She must follow a couple of directions in order to get there. When it is the students turn, she explains it in a very easy way to understand. #4-http://funschool.kaboose.com/preschool/games/game_crazy_pattern_machine_the.html I found this WebQuest to be really helpful especially when a teacher wants to see how well students understand patterns. This WebQuest is called Crazy Pattern Machine and is designed for Kindergarten students it is a great activity to do during math class. This Webquest does not only have patterns but also numbers, colors, upper case letters, lower case letters, and shapes. Students can also decide what level they are ready for. This WebQuest aligns with the GLE of Recognize or repeat sequences of sounds or shapes. I think this would be a great way to start off

the year with and to end the school year with to see how much students know and at what level they are at. #5- http://www.storyplace.org/preschool/activities/bigger.asp?themeid=20 This WebQuest of Which is bigger? will be of great benefit to Kindergarten math classes. The GLE is Compare and order objects according to their size or weight. Students are able to choose which object is bigger. This WebQuest is great because it gives students more than one opportunity even if they are wrong. It will be helpful because students will be able to recognize the difference very easily. I really enjoyed the way it is done by using animals and objects are all of which Kindergartners will enjoy. It is a very rich WebQuest with all of the sounds, colors, and animations. #6- http://www.fossweb.com/modulesK-2/AnimalsTwobyTwo/activities/findtheparent.html The WebQuest of What will I be when I grow up? Shows students baby animals then students have to choose what those animals will look like when they grow up. This WebQuest is especially for Kindergarten science and the GLE is Requires reasoning, developing plan or a sequence of steps, some complexity, more than one possible answer. The Webquest shows the pictures of the animals big enough for students to be able to distinguish what they are. Students then will be given three baby animals to choose from, one of which is that animal when grown up. It is a very fun and interesting WebQuest. I liked it because it gives students more than one chance to be able to recognize the correct choice plus it allows them to think of how life changes animals as they age. #7-- http://pbskids.org/clifford/games/measuring_up.html The WebQuest of Measuring Up with Clifford is also for Kindergarten math students. It aligns with the GLE of Measure objects by comparison of lengths (shorter, same, longer). I like it because there are many words used to describe size. In this WebQuest, it asks the child to click on the smallest, thinnest, longest, shortest, thinnest, or tallest object. A voice lets the students know whether they got it correct or not and Clifford the dog acts happy at correct answers by barking and he wont if they did not. This is an activity that could be done sometime around the beginning of the school year that way they all understand how to tell differences in objects by sizes. #8- http://www.kizclub.com/storytime/safety/first.html This WebQuest relates to the GLE of Identify why laws and rules are made. This WebQuest is for kindergarten Social Studies students. It does not only give good examples of in school but also out of school. I liked that this WebQuest has audio reading with words that are highlighted when read. Students just have to click on an arrow whenever they are ready to go to the next page. If students want to listen to it again they are able to. Teachers would even be able to ask

questions about each page. With this webquest, students can easily understand what rules and laws are and how they are different as well as similar. #9- http://www.beaconlearningcenter.com/WebLessons/AsTheEarthTurns/turn18a.htm This WebQuest is called As the Earth Turns and the GLE that aligns with it is Requires an investigation, time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem. This WebQuest is for kindergarteners. It pertains to the subject of science. It is a story with many fun and explainable pictures. It explains where the sun goes after it gets dark. I like the examples given of how the Earth rotates. It is a story and there are a couple of questions included to see if the students learned what they listened to. It is also of great benefit because students have to follow directions and press on objects in order to go on. #10http://www.internet4classrooms.com/grade_level_help/culture_kindergarten_k_social_studies.ht m This WebQuest is Culture Topics and is aligned with the GLE of identify artifacts (building structures and materials, works of art representative of cultures, fossils, pottery, tools, clothing, musical instruments. This WebQuest will show students about cultures and how we all have different customs. Students will be able to explore cultures by being able to click into something that interests them. I liked it because it doesnt have much wording and will be easy for Kindergarten students to understand and of course the teacher will have to read what they do not understand. This is going to be a great way to explore about cultures for Social Studies students.
