P.E. Fun

My kids have the greatest teachers. We have a school Facebook page and the teachers post regularly, including reading to them every day via video chat. There was a thread where parents were asked to share what they were doing at home and how they were making it work. I commented on how we were incorporating a lot of P.E. and recess time. The P.E. teacher asked me if I needed any suggestions. I have one kid who LIVES for sports and another who hides in the bathroom during P.E. and recess. He had a great suggestion, because he knows my kids so well. Here we are trying it out.

Beckett and Roslyn had a “snowball fight” that was more like military style-dodge ball. They balled up socks (Roslyn thought it would be more effective to make hers like “Snap Peas” and put four balled up socks in each sock. 

Every time Carter got hit, he had to drop down and do two push-ups. It was great fun!

 We also learned about germinating seeds. We are going to grow sweet peppers from seeds, rather than buy starts. We started our seeds today and hope to grow them in our outdoor, covered play area (which used to be a greenhouse).
