In kindegarten, we love to move! Each day in the gym, we are helping children to develop a lifelong love and positive attitude towards physical activity and healthy living. All children are at different stages of physical, social, emotional, language and cognitive development. In the gym, children partake in a variety of engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that help to build confidence, coordination, balance and strengthen both large and small muscles.
Participation in games provides children with the opportunity to develop social skills and self-esteem while having fun. Players must learn to take turns, be patient, abide by game rules and perform actions specific to each activity. When playing, children explore and practice a range of skills while learning about safe play.
We want children to develop a solid foundation for their overall heath and well-being in the years to come.
Here are a few of the skills we will be exploring this year:
- Creative Movement
- Cooperative Play
- Jump, Land and Balance
- Kicking
- Rolling and Bouncing
- Throwing and Catching
- Travelling (walking, jogging, running, skipping, galloping, etc.)
We will be learning about:
- Healthy Eating
- Personal Safety
- Body and Hygiene
