Can you move like an elephant, roar like a lion and shimmy like a penguin? Transitional Kindergarten students at Storey elementary can!

As part of a healthy diet, the 2010 Dietary Guidelines encourage children to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day. This can include sports, walking, running and more. At Storey elementary this includes moving like an elephant!

Enter a story called Bearobics.

You might be wondering is Bearobics about a bear doing aerobics? Of course it is! Well actually, its about a bear AND other animals like elephants, penguins, lions and gorillas getting their exercise.

After hearing the story students got the opportunity to practice their animal movements and get their hearts pumping. It was a "roaring" good time!
