Hi all!
So remember last week when I said we were going to meet the Friday after Thanksgiving?? I changed my mind. I can do that. So...we are NOT meeting the Friday after Thanksgiving because it messes up my perfect little calendar rotation (and also because I didn't want to make Ms. Paula come in on a holiday, though she graciously said she would.)
Requests:
If you have been gifted in the ability to teach larger groups, and would like to, and are not otherwise needed, we could use some help with running Group A and Group B PE games. This would not be every week and I would be happy to come up with activities for you if necessary--I just need someone to help facilitate the activities. Let me know if this is something you would like to do. If you can't do this, please pray for someone who LIKES to do this.
Also...we need more balls. If you would like to bring a ball, that would be helpful. All kinds of balls...beach balls, volleyballs, basketballs, whiffle balls... We can incorporate whatever we get into various games.
Here is what is on the agenda for next week:
From 10-Noon(ish) we will break into group activities:
Group A-- Ages 5-8
You will be doing Gardening/Crafts this week. This week we will be making "Rock Friends"--hunting rocks, painting rocks, and "planting" rocks in the garden area. Please be prepared to get dirty. If you want to wear gardening gloves, please bring your own. If your child has something from the Garden project that they would like to share with everyone, please email a photo to me (along with their first name and age) at: ladyliane@yahoo.com and I will display it on the blog :-).
Materials Needed:
Clothes that you don't mind getting paint on...
Group B-- Ages 9-12
You will be working with the horses this week. We will be going over the basics of Roundpenning, how horses communicate, grooming, and then you will split into teams to design an obstacle course that you will take turns leading your miniature horse through. Should be fun!
Materials Needed:
None
Group C-- Ages 13-18
You will be doing PE this week. We're thinking a good old fashioned game of kickball this week, but that might change depending on how many kids we have. This week will take place in the pasture...so less dust, but more sun. Be prepared! Sunscreen and water bottles are recommended.
Materials Needed:
Tennis shoes and comfortable clothes
Water

Movement Therapy/Stretching with Paula
After the group activities, Paula will host a Movement Therapy/Stretching class in the front yard area. Please let Ms. Paula know if you are wanting to do this class. She doesn't want to interfere with anyone's fun by announcing it is happening, but she would love to come get you if you are wanting to stretch with her. All body types/ strength levels are encouraged to attend. Paula is absolutely AMAZING. She designs her stretches based on the needs of the class, which she can see simply by how you normally move.

Picnic Lunch
Everyone is welcome to stay and have a picnic lunch in the backyard area. You are responsible for bringing your own lunch. Please do not feed any animals with that lunch and please make sure all garbage is disposed of in the dumpster or garbage can.
