Skip Skip Skip to my Lou

Its that time again...report card time! While the assessment system that DC public schools uses is comprehensive and gives an accurate picture of where the child is I sometimes feel it a bit overkill for three year olds. Each quarter we go over physical movement exercises to evaluate and document the students abilities. Following our skipping we evaluatedthe difference between hopping like a frog or a bunny and galloping like a horse or running on all fours likea lion or a cheetah. The surprise was how tired this physical activity made these children. We'll be doing this more often, that's for sure!
