The teacher or class, can choose any one of the episodes. The main character is Mr. Marc and he leads the students in the exercises while informing them about history/facts about where they are traveling to. He also incorporates fitness concepts and nutrition. -CaseyCasey Capecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923365531176066522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646893406943671523.post-48241853631187513222013-08-02T18:19:02.191-07:002013-08-02T18:19:02.191-07:00This looks really cool, it's great to have a f...This looks really cool, it's great to have a free and accessible resource that gets kids moving in the classroom. I could see this being used as a supplement to PE as well, maybe during a break time or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646893406943671523.post-51395717102874364682013-08-02T17:00:33.817-07:002013-08-02T17:00:33.817-07:00What a cool program.

I haven't heard of this before, but seems like it would be great for the inner city kiddos that I will have this year. I'm a little confused how it works, though. Do teachers choose what topics to cover? Is there a wide variety of topics to choose from? Does this program also address nutrition?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
