One of our local community centers is especially generous to the homeschool community, hosting classes in multiple subjects, one of those being "phys ed." And seeing as March is one of our more antsy months of the year, I signed my kids up for the class.
Each week, the kids played in a huge gymnasium with about twenty other homeschooled kids, most of them six to nine years old. The class lasted an hour, and for the most part, the instructor had the kids playing games that included RUNNING. God bless that young man -- for he understands grade schoolers in the spring.
The class included a whole mix of games and sports, and my boys were so happy to participate in the class and get some of their winter wiggles OUT. Suz wasn't old enough to take the class, so she hung out with me and her other four-year-old buddies on the side. Several of our friends signed up for the same class, which made the whole thing super fun for the moms. Oh, and the kids too, but since when is their education about them?
I didn't get many good pictures, as the lighting is weird in the gym, and the kids were always moving moving moving. But I did snap a couple of good ones right before class had started one day, when the Suz was also allowed on the floor:
The class was a fun time for us all, and I certainly plan to sign the kids up when the rainy blahs roll around again next winter. Yay for group games and exercise with someone else teaching the kids!
