BRRR!!!! Winter is definitely on its way.   Remember to dress your children in layers this time of the year.  By doing this it allows them to be warm in the morning when it is cold out, but have appropriate clothing on in the afternoon when it has warmed up a bit.  This week we are working on soccer with the students.  This is the number one played sport in the world, and continues to grow rapidly in the United States.  Today the students will be practicing dribbling the soccer ball around the gym.  This is when they move with the ball at their feet, keeping it close to them and under control.  The students will be practicing some basic moves with this as well, and these include pullbacks (dragbacks), step-overs, inside turns, outside turns, and a few others.  It should be an exciting unit and I know the kids are looking forward to it.
