Nursing
students from
Wright State University came to Mills Lawn P.E. classes to work on an
assignment for their Pediatrics class. Students in grades 3-6 were asked
to take heart rates when at rest and then again after exercising. The
exercise stations included shuttle run, jumping rope, jumping jacks, and
sitting. They did this several times and they recorded their results on
their record sheets. Students were reminded that exercise is necessary for
maintaining a strong and healthy heart.
First and second graders jumped rope, skipped, ran, crab walked, and
learned to find their heart. The nursing students asked them to place a
paper heart on their bodies where they thought their hearts were. They
listened to each other’s hearts before and after exercise. The Mills Lawn
students also had a worksheet and were asked to circle heart healthy
activities. Discussions were held after they finished the worksheets. |
