The students
in AYS Forest Hill Elementary program walked all the way to the middle of
Brazil! In an effort to combine physical fitness with geographic and cultural
awareness, Program Director Trish Kearschner has recorded the childrens
physical activity each day and translated the amount of activity and number of
children participating into miles walked. As the miles added up, the
distance was measured with a string on a map of North and South America. Enrichment
activities were planned in association with the region to which the children had
walked. The children have walked 21,164 miles since September.
