(e)

Participate in a variety of movements that challenge muscular endurance (e.g., animal walks, climbing on/under apparatus and playground equipment, pulling partner riding on a towel or scooter, rhythmical activities, balances).

(f)

Participate in teacher-led movements that stretch or strengthen muscles (e.g., teacher-led yoga poses, teacher-led stretches).
