Ms. Simpson's 1st & 2nd Grade classroom is participating in an end-of-the-year ABC Countdown. Today was "E" for Exercise Day, and the students enjoyed working out with a video through YouTube.
Billy Blanks taught us Tae-Bo (for kids), and we had a GREAT time. They didn't want to stop the workout!
It was a great way to get our wiggles out!
At the end, they held hands to do the cheer, it was very sweet.
