More Gym Time!

 It was a very busy day in Magnolia Room today. As per our usual cold weather schedule, we spent some quality time in the gym. When we are stuck inside so much, we try to keep things new and interesting. Today, we rode bicycles around the gym. It was hard at first, some bikes are bigger than others and all our bodies are different. We had to try different bikes to find the right fit. Once we all got a bike that worked for us, we had to decided what direction to ride and set boundaries to keep everyone safe. Who knew there was so much that went into riding a bike!?

Ms. Erin got out some very sparkly blocks for us today and they did not disappoint. One friend made a rug, it wasn't very comfy! We then tried to see who could build the tallest tower. After many trials and errors, we discovered that a solid base builds a taller tower. H wins for tallest tower!!! 

As more friends joined us on the carpet area a game of lion pride was sparked by a question about whether lions or tigers hunt alone. Tigers are solitary animals, lions live in prides. We hunted, we ran, we played, we defended our home. It was one of the first times we have seen the whole class engage in a game of imagination TOGETHER for quite some time. What a wonderful, joyful day.
