Lower School Bocce

                          If you want to bring people together for a calm, yet competitive game, PLAY Bocce !    I am SO proud of Lower School students who are all learning the sport and playing at different levels. Bocce requires skill, patience, as well as team work. Bocce is a "life time sport" that all age groups can play. Be sure to watch the videos to see the communication skills being built while discussing the scoring system.  : )

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! Please check out all the pictures and videos. world records: https://www.thewssa.com/records/ 5th and 8th                                                                                        K ...

Stations and..........

Have your children come home and said, "We did stations in Gym today!". Here is a video giving some examples of what some stations look like. Children in Grades N2 through 1st Grade (sometimes 2nd:) use station work to review lessons in class. In the video below we are reviewing lessons from September to present on balance , rolling , tossing , and most recently working on throwing .  Occasionally, students get injured and are not able to participate in P.E. Here are some of the activities I have them work on while on " injured reserve "!
