We are both Physical Education, or as we are usually called, gym teachers, and Nanny Buttercup wants us to teach you how to stay fit and healthy with our fun exercise programs.

Our mission is  to help teach children about the opportunities and experiences that lead to total-wellness and in turn, a longer and healthier life!

HERE'S A FUN EXERCISE GAME

Children run around the water sprinkler, and someone turns the faucet on and off...when it is on, all stop running.

No one knows when the water will come on...lots of fun and exercise too.One person is designated as "it" and controls the water faucet.
