This week, I took a step class for the first time. I really enjoyed it. It was nice to add a little variety to my morning workout. Then, as I was teaching about the Statue of Liberty this week, one of the facts that we came across was that there are 354 steps to the crown. One of my students asked how long that would take to walk up. So, a teachable moment was born. I borrowed 4 of the steps from our gym teacher and timed each student walking the steps for a minute. We will then figure out how long it will take based on the steps they take in a minute.
