Who’s ready for spring? Winter is always a tight squeeze when activities move indoors, and the kids are anxious to stretch their legs and their lungs! Space has been limited as the choir gets ready for their spring performance, and Dad’s club continues their winter basketball program in the gym. Undeterred, the staff and students of the ESE program have taken it as a challenge to be overcome.
Combining homework time allows us to use our space more wisely and encourages everyone to be quiet all at once instead of trying to decide who’s at “recess” and who’s supposed to be reading. Then, when everyone’s done, we all enjoy recess at the same time. Mother Nature has often made it a point to be too cold or wet to play outside, so we’ve compromised with board games, drawing, dance, and activities like bowling that can be enjoyed in the cafeteria without creating too much chaos.
The kids have been terrific at diverting their energy into less active activities earlier in the day but have learned to take full advantage of sunny days! We’ve also been enjoying sneak peaks of the play practice…they sound great!
