N.E.R.F.: Weeks #2-3 (Exercise & Rest)

Due to extreme temps last week, we flip-flopped weeks 2 & 3, opting to Rest last week because of the ice and instead sip hot chocolate every afternoon by a roaring fire while reading Pippi Longstocking.  :)   This week, we can wear shorts.  That's Texas weather for you, eh?!  So, we have been doing the Exercise week this week & reading a few books on muscles and the human body.

Here's a glimpse:

Enjoying one of the GREAT & ACTIVE games 

on our new favorite website:  http://www.kidnetic.com

The next three photos are experiments

involving our muscles from one 

of the books we read.

We had WAYYYY too much fun once

we read this passage from one of our books!

Get ready to laugh!

One activity-oriented website suggested

getting a balloon and seeing how 

long you could keep it in the air without

it hitting the ground.  As you can see,

they had a BLAST doing this...and got some

good exercise in what became a full-

contact sport!  

We rounded out the week's study on exercise

with a field trip with our local home

schooling group to CrossFit, where the

kids were taught about nutrition & exercise

by a professional, who encouraged a LOT

of hands-on learning.  :)
