K/1

All the K/1 students are coming to P.E. together. This gives us the opportunity to play some great team-games and give the children a chance to cooperate and build trust with all the other children in their age-group. We have been having a great time in P.E. Our day consists of story,warm up, activity, and free time. Our warm ups for the last week have been Color Tag and Cats in the Corner. The kids love Cats in the Corner! It is a tagging game in which the children who start in the corner are the mice, trying to elude the cat who is in the middle. If the child is tagged they become a cat in the middle with all the other cats. The goal is to be the last mouse standing. This game is a great warm up game; it takes a variety of skills such as strategy, problem solving, teamwork, and running.

The focus activity of the group right now is Soccer. Who knew that, in North Africa, the games they play are largely the same as the games we play here in America? Soccer is one of them. The children had a great time and we will continue playing it next week.
