November 1 - November 5

I hope that you all had a safe Halloween if you chose to celebrate it. I heard that the weather may be on an upward trend for this coming week so I'm hoping you can get outside and enjoy a scavenger hunt looking at the last of the decorations that people put up in your neighborhood.

In my classes we continue to work on some locomotor skills and I found some great videos that give some fun activities to do at home (solo, or as a family). Locomotor skills are used in so many sports as you grow up and are a huge part of our curriculum from Kindergarten through 2nd grade and beyond in the games and activities that we play. I hope you enjoy the activities below.

I also wanted to give you a quick tutorial on how to do a 3-3-3 with cup stacks. Don't forget that you can be a part of the STACK UP. Stack Up is a world record setting event in which schools participate and submit the numbers of students that they have practicing cup stacking on a given day. This year they are doing a virtual cup stacking photo album and they are looking for students to submit pictures of themselves cup stacking. Here is a link to the website and you can register even if you are at home. STACK UP! There are some guidelines that they are asking you to follow including that they would like the cups to be "SPEED STACK" Brand. That is the company that sponsors the event and are the cups that we use in school. The Stack Up challenge runs from November 18 through December 2.
