Exercise that's FUN

This afternoon, I played an intense, 30 minute soccer game with some of the boys in my class. They ran circles around me, and I loved every minute of it. It was nice to have some small group time with these particular boys - good bonding and whatnot. They were very kind about my lack of skills on the field, and it was a great way to end the week even if it did make me look like I was on the verge of passing out. My students practiced making similies as we walked back inside. "Mrs. H, your face is as red as a strawberry and your freckles are like the seeds." (Whoo hoo, they're learning something!) I plan on doing it again very soon.
