Spring Is Here!

Spring has come to Rocky Hill, NJ!

We’ve been thoroughly enjoying the beautiful weather!

Some of our outside activities (besides enjoying the playground!) have been playing with the parachute, jump ropes, and our new playground balls! Keep saving those Campbell Soup labels!

Does your child know how to bounce and catch a ball? I’m not talking about dribbling with a basketball or soccer ball, but rather bouncing and catching with two hands. Believe it or not, in the really, really OLD days, when I was in first grade, it was part of the curriculum! It’s a skill many children have lost! First we practice holding the ball with two hands, slightly pushing it to the ground, and catching it again! Then we progressed to trying to bounce it over our heads, and catching! Then we tried bouncing to partners!
