School Time

Well Daniel and I have officially completed our second week of school! We are counting down the weeks already. The great thing is that we only have 3 semesters left. That just sounds so good! I can't believe that I only have the two semesters and then my student teaching. As one of my friends recently pointed out..."Mrs. Kunz... wow that makes you sound old." Haha I guess it does.
Daniel has at least one class that he is excited for...I wish I could explain it to you, but I don't have an engineer's brain... maybe I could convince him to write a post....
I am enjoying my PE in Elementary class. It makes me want to be an advocate for physical activity for children in schools. Those poor kids really don't get enough PE.
I am teaching in the Child Development Lab the second half of the semester, but today I was able to sub for one of the girls that got sick. I really enjoyed playing with the children and teaching them. I forgot how much fun it is to play with them! We had a birthday party set up in the dramatic play area and one little boy was so excited to throw me a surprise birthday party! haha it was cute. You really don't realize how much kids pick up on things until you are right with them playing.
Anyhoo...that was just a short blurb on how we are doing. Enjoy life!

Jump Rope

Today for my Elementary School PE we went to a local elementary school and had a class about jumping rope. Those kids really know their stuff! They were teaching us how to cross the rope in front of our bodies and put the rope under one leg while jumping and doing push-ups while jumping, and even jumping with our behinds! I couldn't believe how hard it was and what a great workout too! OUr teacher, a 4th grader, was great and very patient with my group of college students.
They even taught us how to do double dutch. I never thought that I could ever do anything like that, but I did manage to jump in and get a few jumps before I messed up the ropes.
Overall, I had so much fun! I wish the university offered a class on jumping rope. Seriously it is such good exercise!!
