"I thought about it at first, but then they ended up walking thousands of steps and that would have been a really big graph (and I wasnt sure if it would make sense to them to make four blocks on the graph represent 4000 steps etc??) :)"

"This is really great! Lots of fun...and lots of learning, too."

"Glad to see that the children are learning about healthy snack choices."

"As we say and practice - Learning through PLAY!!!"

"What a good way to cover more math standards in the project.  I wonder if you created a graph of the steps?"

"This is a great idea!  This activity covered so many objectives, standards and outcomes.  Way to go."

"I bet every child really enjoyed tasty the delicious smoothies also!"

"Authentic writing activity?  Look how engaged they are!"

"How do I sign up to get a membership? "

"This is such a great picture of making comparisons between lengths of pipe.  Love it!  The children in your class are getting some great hands-on lessons, Michelle!  "

"I'm actually looking at the graph you have hanging on the wall behind this activity...the one where the kids can see how many letters are in their name.  What a great way to integrate math and literacy in a variety of ways...counting, more…"

"You integrate the content areas into the topic so well, Michelle!"

"I need to join your gym!"

"Those membership cards are outstanding, Michelle!  What a great way to make literacy meaningful to the kids!"

"They are learning to represent their new knowledge through drawing.  The clip boards help to make writing a real part of the learning process. Pat Bing"
