cross your arms, cross your legs, cross your hands, cross your eyes…
we tried it all during exercise week!
e is for exercise
show and tell for these days was “some kind of BIG BODY toy.”
even though it was cold and drizzly both days (only 2 days of school this week), we went outside for show and tell time.
we had a chance to see how we use certain things to exercise with. and then, of course, used our bodies alone to get a good work out!
i’m almost embarrassed to admit i had some sore muscles the next day. lame.
e is for exercise poem
a little made up poem for the week:
I MOVE MY ARMS
I MOVE MY LEGS
I EVEN MOVE MY EYES
I MOVE MY HANDS
I MOVE MY HEAD
IT’S HOW I EXERCISE!
p is for (giant) pumpkin
it was a last minute idea to suspend a huge paper/masking tape ball from the ceiling for the children to paint.
it takes different coordination to paint something that moves.
yes, it has been used in a pinata like fashion.
yes, there have been conversations about keeping it as still as possible.
once it’s all orange, we’ll add a green vine.
o is for obstacle course
for “exercise week” we had an indoor obstacle course set up.
i am glad to announce there were no injuries!
