October P.E. Update

The weather is changing and the children are becoming more comfortable in the P.E. Classes. We continue to work on class behavior, peer respect during games and good sportsmanship, as these skills don't always come easily and most often, must be learned during real activity experiences.
This month has focused on finishing our soccer unit and playing games using their imagination and creativity, but all within a game format with rules. The children love to use their imagination and become aliens, blobs, patriots and ghouls!
Our Fall extravaganza includes 12 stations, each station sure to excite the young at heart (and allot of fun for us to create!). The children enjoy a few minutes at each station performing the task at hand and pretend, as an example, that a station might be a rope ride or perhaps a witches broom ride or a rocket ship ride, but regardless, the end result is a broad happy smile across their face! The stations are never long enough!
Make sure to ask your child about the P.E. stations and look forward to our November themes, so stay tuned to find out just where we go from here!
This is such a fun time of year to be outdoors and moving about, so bundle up and enjoy your child , get your mind off of all of the daily stressors and enjoy every minute of this special time in thier lives!
