Wow! I was so impressed with the first graders today! This is the third year in a row we've taken our classes to Walker Ice and Fitness to ice skate. Most of the kids have never tried it before and were excited to give it a try. I watched from the sidelines this year but I got to see the kids cooperating, helping friends up that had fallen, and most importantly they picked themselves back up and tried it again after falling (sometimes many times!) What a great character-building lesson! Even with a couple of minor injuries, the kids were so happy and proud of themselves in the end. I heard more than one say, "This was the best field trip ever!"
Getting the hang of it!
All smiles- so proud!
Look, no hands!
Looking for an activity that will tire out your kids?! I think we found one!
A few of the kids actually fell asleep on the ride home.
