Spring Is a Great Time to Get Moving!
We all need movement to keep our muscles toned and strong. For preschoolers, there is nothing quite as satisfying as skipping. It’s feels a bit like flying. Young children tend to skip naturally and joyfully. I once stood outside a 3rd grade classroom and watched a girl in the class get up and skip to the back of the classroom to sharpen her pencil. Then she skipped back to her desk and happily sat down to write. I wondered, when do most people stop skipping?
