Climbing Wall

Experiences.  They build awareness.  They build confidence.  They build skills.  They bring on wisdom.

In P.E., we always want to help develop students' physical literacy.  Part of that is learning and developing many skills.

Thanks to our super supportive PTC and community members, we have a new 8 ft. by 20 ft climbing wall installed in our gym.

All of our students got to experience it this week.  I was so proud of the kids who tried something new.  I was proud of the experience climbers who climbed without a harness (do not worry, their feet cannot go higher than 3 feet of the ground).

I saw lots of students increasing their confidence as they tried a difficult task.  Also something about growth.

Enjoy some pics of kids in action!

Fun with Pinkie & Blackie

Pinkie and Blackie are giant KinBalls...4 feet in diameter.  They need at least three kids to lift them but can be held up with one pinkie!
The kids love them!  Every time I bring them out, all kids aged 6-11 wave and shouted "Hi, Pinkie & Blackie!!!"  We use them to do cooperation games, racing games, throwing games, and to just have a good chuckle.
