K4 finally got the chance to do their Easter lesson. We have missed a lot of Fridays!! We started class exercising to the song called The Bean Bag Boogie! We then took plastic eggs and manipulated them by balancing, spinning, and using poly spots to pick them up. We ended class with a sharing game called Empty My Basket.

K5 & 1st grade this week learned, discussed, and practiced the concept of teamwork. We started class with a warm-up song called Give Me Ten. We then got some muscular strength and muscular endurance exercise using the Parachute. As a team, we made the parachute do some amazing things. We then ended class playing Sharks & Lifeguards!

2nd grade this week also learned about the concept of teamwork. We participated in activities called Turkey Dance, Transformers, and Partner Pick-Up. Throughout the lesson, we stopped to discuss what teamwork sounds like and looks like!!
