Hi All!
It was so great to see everyone again last week (well, except a few families that were very missed...you know who you are ;-) ). I just love seeing everyone running around and enjoying this beautiful weather. I'm also excited since it looks like we might be getting some parts for that 9 square game donated to us, so hopefully we will get to add that into the PE section sometime in the next couple of months :-). I'll keep you updated!
Also, goat kidding season is coming up! If you would like to read more about what that entails or would like to be added to our kidding text alert list, check out this post for more details:
Goat Kidding Season is Coming!
Ongoing 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 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 this week:
From 10-Noon(ish) we will break into group activities:
Group A-- Ages 5-8
Just like Group B last week, you will be working with lemons this week--just not quite the same as what Group B did. And that's all I have to say about that. Don't come with any papercuts...they hurt when you get juice in them ;-).
Materials Needed:
None (though if you want to bring a bag of sugar or some solo cups, I wouldn't be sad with the donation... ;-) )
Group B-- Ages 9-12
You will be doing PE this week. There is a debate as to what we should do, but Mr. D always comes up with something fun. You can be surprised on Friday. Sunscreen and water bottles are recommended.
Materials Needed:
Tennis shoes and comfortable clothes
Water
Group C-- Ages 13-18
You have Gardening with Ms. Paula this week. Come prepared to get dirty! If you would like to wear gardening gloves, please bring your own.
Please note: Teens are held to a slightly higher standard than the younger kids. If you choose not to participate in the activity of the day, we will "volunteer" you to help with the younger kids. A respectful, pleasant attitude is expected. You have been warned...
Materials Needed:
None

Movement Therapy/Stretching with Ms. Paula
After the group activities, Ms. 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. Ms. 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.
