I first started in Wellesley by doing my student teaching at Hunnewell and then I was hired to work at Fiske. I have my undergraduate in Exercise Physiology from UMass Boston and my masters from Boston University in Human Movement.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In my personal life, my husband and I have 2 children 10 and 12 who are teaching us new things about parenting everyday-mostly that we have a lot to learn! The Fiske community has always impressed me with how active the families are outside of school. I love hearing about all the different ways children are moving outside\u00a0of the school day.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0My goal is to teach lifetime fitness units. I change the curriculum every 2-4 weeks so students can get a taste of many different\u00a0ways to move. My hope is that they will fall in love with a unit and continue that movement into their adulthood. Team sports, jumping stations, trampolines, hippity hoppers, yoga poses, and\u00a0tchoukball are just a taste of what students experience in Fitness and Health classes. I continue to learn from them and they give me my best game ideas for sure:)<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\u00a0 \u00a0 Thank you for sharing your children with us at Fiske. Some of the highlights of our program: Monthly Walk to School days, Turkey Trot, Fitness and Health Open House, Mini Marathon, Field Day, 5th grade versus staff kickball game!<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christina Gerst<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>781-446-6219 ;2238<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>gerstc@wellesleyps.org<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, My name is Christina\u00a0Gerst\u00a0and I have been teaching Fitness and Health at Fiske since 2005.
