On this #wellnesswednesday, we want to give some ideas for keeping your child active while at home. Winter weather days can make things difficult - especially when children cannot get outside to move their muscles. Here are some ideas for helping them to "get the wiggles out" while at home. Make commercial time, exercise time. ... Play video games that incorporate movement. ... Incorporate small dance parties throughout the day. ... Do a clean-up sprint. ... Build an indoor obstacle course. ... Hold a scavenger hunt... #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It’s been a wonderful “two’s” day here at Claremont! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
