Today we welcomed U.S. Navy Divers into our class to explain how healthy choices pertain to their job. They brought some equipment to share to help explain how they work underwater. It was pretty heavy- students loved trying to hold it. Our class also prepared questions to ask them. Some questions were about the job of being a diver and other questions were about healthy choices- like where they work out, what they eat to get energy, and how much water they need to drink to stay hydrated. The kids had a good time and learned a lot. After our guests left with their thank-you cards in hand, we wrote a reflection of 3 things they learned and what they liked or didn't like about the activity. Here are some pictures of the event:

Trying on the equipment
The air tank and bag is about 20 lbs
They use masks to see under water
We help each other secure the equipment
Before the game, we warm up our bodies to prevent injury
We drink lots of water to stay hydrated
Split up into 2 teams for our game
Bear crawling- one of the challenges
We stretch after exercising so we don't get sore
Saying our good-byes and thank yous!
What a great day. Thank you to our military for all you do for our country and community!
