Almost the end...

I totally forgot to write my blog yesterday, which is kinda sad.  I enjoy writing this blog, because I like to tell people what I have been doing.  So, yesterday I started off by having them write down something for me.  They had to write down what they learned from the class, what they liked, and something they would have changed.  I am actually surprised that none of them wouldn't have changed a thing about the class.  I figured being kids they would be brutally honest, but I guess they must have really liked it.  After they wrote that for me I had them tell me one thing that they wrote on the paper.  They did this to receive a certificate and a letter.  The certificate just said congratulations on completing the program, and the letter was just my way of telling them thank you for helping me out with my program.  I wanted them to know that I greatly appreciated what they helped me do.  Not only did they get a certificate and a letter they also got a medal.  Granted, the medal was pink and said gymnastics on it, but they seemed to enjoy the gratitude.  Then again they didn't really care what it was, or what it said on it.  After receiving all of that they also got to take some fruit snacks, even though they aren't the healthiest thing in the world.  Toward the end I let them have a free day, to do what they wanted.  Mostly, they jumped into the pit and made up games to play.

Lesson I learned yesterday: Kids enjoy a lot of simple things in life.  Once they start something fun, they don't want to stop.
