The am PK and Senior Buddies are back at it!

Yesterday the am PK finished their volleyball unit with big kid volleyballs; learning how to get low and eventually pass!

Today, Dr. Coffey took the pairs through several teamwork exercises including the adapted three legged, wheelbarrow, squats, back to back, and animal races. Students learned the importance of communication and trust. It’s always a great day to be outside with our youngest Hawks paired with our most experienced Hawks for moments like this!

Another fabulous adventure with the AM preschoolers and their senior sidekicks!

After reading aloud “Going on a Bear Hunt,” Dr. Coffey sent everyone off into the “wild” to go on a “Bear Hunt” or “Nature Hunt” of their own!

The students were able to find and identify the following: leaf, flower, twig, tree, spider web, bird, sun, ant, grass, bee, and plant. 🙌🏻
