Play Ball!




First Grade

                    Working on the batting tee and throwing overhand (at a target) while stepping with their                            opposite foot.

Second Grade
                               The Second Grade has been working on basic racket skills 
                       which is HARD!  I am so proud of this moment for Maddie and Kevin.

Toss the "pancake" racket skills

Pre School 3
Toss the "pancake" to the hoop. 
There is a LOT of skills here! Hold a racket, pick up bean bag with 1 hand, put it on the racket, balance the bb so it stays on the racket, and then toss to a target! I'm tired just thinking about it :)

Nursery 2
                                     
We needed to learn safety before we can play. Notice, all the students are sitting at a safe distance from the batting tee and bat. Each student gets to place the ball and then hit it off. When we can show how to be safe this will become a station for N2.

Another learning moment.... N2 is working on rolling at a target. Part of that learning is listening and following directions! The students were asked to stand on the line and roll together. After my direction they could retrieve their ball while trying not to knock over pins.

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 ...
