Blue Zone

Blue Zone is an organization that is partnering with a lot of communities to try and help people live healthier lives. Our school is trying to become a Blue Zone designated school by having kids be more active, more healthy, and not be on their screens all the time. Some of the things we are doing are the Sharing Bowl, the Walking School Bus, and our Blue Zone challenge sheets. The Sharing Bowl is a place where kids can put some of their food is they are not hungry during lunch. Then other kids can take the food and eat it. The Walking School Bus is where kids pick up other kids and they walk to school together. The Blue Zone challenge sheets are for kids to write down what they did in different categories of healthy things. In the category of fruits and vegetables, the recommended amounts are 5-9 servings per day. In the the exercise category, the ideal time is 60 minutes per day. In the breakfast category, they say you should eat it every morning. In the screen time, they want you to watch less than 60 minutes a day. In the sugary drinks category, they want you to drink zero.  Each week, our class is setting personal and class goals for our Blue Zone challenge sheets and trying to increase our minutes of daily exercise and intake of fruits and vegetables, while decreasing our daily amounts of screen time and sugary drinks.

Below are some pictures of our Blue Zone challenge sheets, and some Blue Zone posters that we made and shared with younger classes at our school.

Have a wonderful Spring Break!

Mrs. Johnson's 5th and 6th Graders
