• 3. Moravia's Bookin' It Adventure! With Ms. Bowen...

  We have a super fun way to weave together literacy and activity together!  This is a chance to read and rack up steps on a downtown Moravia book adventure!
  
  

  • Begin at the Millard Fillmore Elementary school, bring your devices (like a smartphone) and scan a QR code (it is in the window at the entrance), to listen to a read-aloud (with some (TOTALLY optional) fun activities after reading).  From the first stop, you will go to the next guidepost (there are 5 total).  The activity should take around an hour, if you do ALL of the stops, but can be shortened if you only do 2 one day, and 3 the next. 
    
    There are QR codes at the following 5 locations (it will make the most sense to go in order):
    
  1. Millard Fillmore Elementary School (front entrance)
  2. Moravia True Value Hardware (Main Street, Moravia)
  3. Kilbourne Agency Insurance (Main Street Moravia)
  4. 10-10 BBQ (Adams Street, Moravia)
  5. Moravia High School (the NEW entrance)
     
     
  • Fun, Fluency, and Fitness abound!
    

  
  
• 4. Share Your Success

  • Thank you so much for participating in this online activity challenge with us and with each other!  Share your progress and your activities... #30mins30daysfitnesschallege #Activefamilies #communityfitness
