6th Graders,

You did a great job last week with the week long mini-Pedometer Unit.  I hope that you better understand how a Pedometer is a useful device in motivating you to move more throughout the day.  You can purchase a pedometer at any kind of fitness store like Sports Authority, Sports Basement or a place like Target, Walmart, etc.
