Folwell
family wellness night on Friday January 17 from 6-8 pm will be a blast!
Here is more information on what activities we will have at family
wellness night.
Have
you heard about Destination Imagination? Here is your chance!
There will be an activity for kids as well an information about it for
you. We are trying to put a group together from Folwell. I am
purposefully being vague about this. I don't have sufficient words to
describe what it really encompasses! Just come--meet the representative
and see if your child wants to join.
Kelly
the dietitian from HyVee will also be present. She will show families how
to use the NuVal system. She will have an activity-- sorting foods
according to the NuVal system from the lowest to the highest.
Of
course, we will have some of the popular stations from last year like Nintendo
wii fit. I admit, it's not something that excites me, but I know that
there are some kids who really enjoy this, and that's okay. We all have
different ways of getting activity.
For
those kids who really love a challenge (or maybe breaking the no running in
school rule) we are bringing back the Stair Step Challenge. Basically,
kids take a timer from the bottom of the stairs, climb up and down a set route
and time themselves doing it. They can race themselves again and again.
Or maybe they will challenge you to a race? I wonder who is faster?
Another
popular area is our building station. I will have dixie cups and
Citiblocs (these are thin 4 by in inch planks) for kids to build whatever they
want. I am also going to add some dominoes to this area this year.
Do you remember building a line of dominoes when you were a kid and then
knocking the 1st one down and watching the others get knocked down? Have
your kids ever tried it? This could be fun (or frustrating, if you
accidentally knock it down before you are ready)!

Be
well at Folwell!
