January 3rd-7th Welcome Back!

Welcome back, as we ease back into our school routine we are re-visiting our Bucket Filling Strategies to build a healthy happy school community. We start each class with a short run then read 3 chapters (a small paragraph each) from Growing Up With a Bucket Full of Happiness: Three Rules for a Happier Life. We share ideas and connections from the book that we can use at school then we PLAY!

This week we are working/playing on/with Gymnastics!

This is not gymnastics like one would assume... through Dynamic Physical Educations Guide: Lesson Plans for Implementation by Robert Pangrazi, our focus is on balance, through all kinds of fun animal movements and games.



Happy New Year
