Track and Field season is upon us and the beautiful sunny weather has made it easy for us to get outside and practice! This week we kicked off with long jump and triple jump. Both are new for a few of us, so we’ve learned the steps and have practiced, practiced, and practiced! We’ve all been working really hard at improving our steps, knowing that we can’t step over the foul line and knowing that we need to build our speed. Sometimes it’s hard to know what we need to work on so to help us see a different perspective, we captured a quick video of us jumping. Our task will be to watch the video and to look for something that we can work on, such as jumping with one foot or jumping before the foul line. This week we also read a lovely picture book by Kate Jean Neal called Words and Your Heart. It’s a story about the incredible power of words and how what we say can be either positive…or negative. That led to a discussion about how good it feels to be the giver or the recipient of positive words and that we need to do it more often. And of course, with it being Mother’s Day on Sunday, we couldn’t resist making cards for our moms. We’re already looking forward to welcoming our parents into our classroom for a combined Mother’s & Father’s Day tea. 😊
