One week left, and it's been a fun run! Today, for starters, we did running. I had the kids do a normal running today. They just ran around the floor three times, skipped twice, shasayed twice (foward and backward). After they got done with the running we sat and stretched. I usually try to do each stretch for about 30 sec, or whatever me counting to thirty is equivalent to. After we did that we played some dodge ball. The game was not your typica dodgeball, however. Instead of using little balls, we used the bigger fisio balls in the gym. I did, though, have specific rules about using the bigger balls. I wanted it to be more fun, but I also didn't want anyone to be getting hurt while using them. The kids thought that was a really fun idea, at least I think so anyways. After we played dodge ball we did some more fitness things and some running. The kids are really starting to show some imporvement on their fitness training. I am glad that I can see the improvement in them. After we did the fitness stuff we played another game. In the groups I told them that they could pick their favorite game that we have played thus far. The groups each had a different favorite. In the first group we played mat tag, a really fun game where you jump from mat to mat with someone being it. They enjoy running from mat to mat seeing how far they can jump and who they can tag. The second group did an obstacle course, that they set up themselves. I made them do it two times, and they did a really good job with it. At the end I gave them a treat of strawberries. They all really enjoyed that!
Lesson I learned today: It's hard to make someone feel better, when you really don't know the root of the problem. However, once you figure it out, you do all that you can to make them feel better.
