Right now we are just learning how our bodies work. Staying in our personal space. Moving for-ward, backward, left and right. Going big and small, wide and narrow, pathways and locomotor movements. Pretty soon we will be testing our jumping and landing skills and seeing how well we can balance.

We are looking forward to watching them continue to grow and thrive in school.
