I do an after school program with a great friend and former teaching partner at my school on Monday's and Thursday's. It is called Girls on the Move and we do everything from Zumba to yoga in one hour. This year we have over 60 girls. There is something really amazing and fun about jumping around, running and stretching with a gym full of girls who are packed with energy. I start out dreading it a little after a long day of teaching. Then I change my clothes and pull my hair up and I feel a little more ready. But when I walk in that gym to echoes of giggling and excitement, "Mrs. Hubbard are we doing yoga today?" I can't help but smile and feel their energy just flow right into me.
I love this! My running partner and I have kicked around a movement club for kids with hiking, yoga, running! I also chatted this fall with our cross country coach a bit about a running club for kids. We've talked about making it choice based. How long have you been doing your group? Simply awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is our second year. We opened it up to 3rd, 4th and 5th grade girls. It has been awesome.
