week 6 review

Well......as I posted, and so I thought, this week we were going to do yoga.  Good thing yoga practice teaches us to be flexible!
Blue skies and sunshine proved to be inspiring more movement than yoga could provide for our young students, and our activity quickly changed to movement runs across our grassy lawn.  Hopping like frogs, crawling like bears, running like horses...we did it!  And we finished off with a game of freeze tag.  The kids had fun in the sun!
Next week, we will resume our circuit training activity....1 minute exercises rotating around various stations.  Water bottles are super important, as this is a very busy activity.
As always, sturdy shoes and play clothes are mandatory. 
Thanks,
Teachers Mary and Kellie

week 5 review

We have been very fortunate with the weather and had a great time this week playing outside.  This week we worked on eye-hand coordination in catching and dribbling balls.  Watching these kids having fun playing and practicing a new skill is so much fun for us as well.

Coming up this week is our yoga class.  If the weather is nice, we will yoga outside!  Don't worry, I have the puzzle mats for outside use, and your personal mats will stay clean.
Even though the sun is out, the air is still cool.  I highly recommend dressing in layers that can be removed if it does get warm enough.  and of course, water bottles!  :)

Thanks,

week 4 review

Hi families.  Wow, your kids are great fun.  This week we held class in the fellowship hall and did circuit training.  This was a big hit with the kids, with lots of changing activity and movement.  We will do this again through-out the semester, changing activities each time.

This week the weather is supposed to be pleasant and we hope to go outside to our ball play activities.  Please remember to bring a water bottle.  Play shoes are extremely important for active kids - rain boots, sandals, and most dress shoes do not provide the support needed for movement exercise. Thanks!
