Becoming healthy, fit, and developing a total wellness lifestyle starts at a young age.

Wellness Department Professor Melanie Schiele Gady is teaching Mrs. Montgomery?s kindergarten class at Countryside Elementary School the importance of exercise, healthy anatomy and nutrition.? For example, in one recent class, the kindergartners started the class with our health chant:? ?Low Fat, High Fiber, Lots of Water, and Exercise.?? Then we read a children?s book about the heart, brain, lungs and kidneys and what the organs and body need to stay healthy.? We then did 30 minutes of exercise with jumping, running, and yoga.? The session finished with the children coloring the heart, brain, lungs and kidneys on their paper, then cutting them out, and then gluing the organs on to the right spot on the body model.

Melanie will be working with the kindergarten class throughout the rest of the school year.
