Primary school : "Want to start a "Read and Ride" program for your school?"
|
Our school started a "Read and Ride" program this year for students to ride exercise bikes while reading fun magazines and books. The students LOVE it! It's a bonus recess period during the day, so they are extra motivated to get the extra 15 minutes of activity. Teachers enjoy seeing the students so eager to read too.
Our goal was to receive 30 exercise bikes from individuals in our community, but we were able to get 41! We filled up one entire classroom for teachers to bring their class so every student can ride their own bike while they read. 11 classrooms have their own exercise bike in a corner for students to take turns reading and riding throughout the day, as a reward, or when they finish their work.
If you would like to start a program at your school, please visit our website: www.KidsReadAndRide.com |
