Opening day in a different way!


Lower School has been playing a game called "Kickball Cricket". This is a lead up to a kickball game as you may know it. There are three positions: batter, pitcher, and outfielder. The Pitcher rolls the ball, the Batter kicks the ball and then runs in between each cone (2 bases) to score points. The Outfielder collects the ball and brings it back to the cone to stop the runner. After each batter, the students rotate positions.  Below, you will see 1st grade demonstrating. 

As the game progresses, the outfielders are asked to throw the ball to the pitcher to stop the runner (relay). Below you will see Second Grade demonstrating. As time continues, more bases will be added to "score points" until it looks more like a formal kickball game.

Shoe Tying

Shoe Tying Pointers There is no wrong way to tie a shoe. Make sure you practice often but not too long. Consider getting two different color laces for easier visualization. (or you can use marker) Be sure the shoe is facing away from your child. Practice tightening (pulling) laces from the bottom. Make sure your child has enough lace to tie with. Take laces out of top hole for length. Be patient, give your child time to tie then you can tighten or double knot. Watch all the videos, try them all! See which one works best for your child.

I HOPE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS !!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was the most exciting work day! Not only is SPEED STACKS an activity that spans the ages it also helps with reading and math. Cups are used from left to right which simulates reading patterns. Both dominant and non-dominant hands are used which means using both brain hemispheres. Exercises fine motor skills and increases Hand Eye Coordination. The list goes on!  Your children all played with their own set of cups to learn patterns then participated in different games and competitions. It was an AWESOME day!
