Welcome to Wellness at the Taylor School here in Foxborough! Our goal during class time is to stay active, work on our team building and communication skills, to learn about the importance of a healthy body and mind, and overall to have FUN! Be sure to check out some of the pictures from our classes!

April concepts:
Nutrition
​Frisbee skills

Frisbee Skill Cues to help practice and teach at home!:
1. Point (with Frisbee at target)
2. Cross (front of body)
3. Step (towards target)
​4. Flick!
​Imagine the Frisbee is a yummy pizza with lots of toppings. You must keep it flat so your ingredients don't fly off!!

Catching:
1. Alligator snap (top and bottom)
​2. Crab claws (sides)
As the weather progressively begins to get nicer (hallelujah!) we will be moving our wellness classes outside! Students in grades K-4 will all be working on their Frisbee throwing skills. They will be introduced and reminded on how to keep the Frisbee flat, proper body positioning, as well as different grips for the students that are interested in a challenge! Grades K and 1 will be working towards perfecting the disc throwing skill cues, while students in grades 2-4 will attempt to put their skills to the test in a game of Frisbee golf on an outdoor course that I will be creating.

​We will also be focusing a great deal of our time on health and nutrition concepts​. For example, how to properly wash our hands to keep them squeaky clean, the main food groups, and how to prepare a healthy and balanced meal. I am looking into bringing in a few guests from the YMCA to complete a food label activity with grades 3 and 4, as well as a nurse to talk with all grades about the best way to stay healthy year round and talk a little bit about her experience in the healthcare field.

​We will also continue with our good sport MVP of the day! ALL of the students have been working so hard to be recognized as an MVP. Take a look at our MVP page to see past winners, and how your child could be next!
