Badminton

                Middle school enjoyed the slower pace of the racket sport Badminton. Below the students got to put their hard work to use playing doubles matches!

Badminton is a very family friendly game for all ages : ) Simply adjust the size of the racket for younger kids for more success.

Early Childhood Music

 

            St. Patrick's Day 

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, the children were introduced to

Irish dancing and some Irish music.

Nursery 3

After viewing some of the Irish dance from Riverdance, our Nursery 3 students were inspired to try some of their own fancy footwork. You can check out their moves here.

Kindergarten

The Kindergarten students were introduced to the bodhran, a handheld drum traditionally used in Irish music.  They enjoyed keeping the beat to some Irish music using cardboard block drums.  Here they are playing along to the song Ran Tin Tinnah.

 Happy Spring!

The end of March brings warmer weather, sunshine and flowers.  To celebrate the beginning of spring, the children have been learning spring themed chants and songs. 

Nursery 2

The Nursery 2 students are having fun learning the Bee Bee Bumblebee chant.

Pre-K

The Pre-K had fun pretending to be the bees in the chant Here is the Bee Hive.

Enjoy your Spring Break!

While traditional Floor Hockey is not appropriate for Early Childhood, give Noodle Hockey a try!!!

SO MUCH FUN  :)

Kindergarten and Pre - K got pretty competitive. With several balls in play, everyone had a lot of opportunity to touch the ball.
