Swimming

There was some "technical difficulty" with our plan to swim last week ... (someone was sick IN the pool ... it took several days for the pool to be safe for swimming ... then the pool schedule and our schedule had to align ...) and finally we made it!

I love how we plan rewards for EVERY student to participate. We went swimming today to reward students for their efforts to learn all year long and their hard work as we finish up our testing season. Assessments can be a stressful time for fourth graders, and we recognize the anxiety. Swimming was the recognition and time to "just be" ... the time to talk, to laugh, and to spend time with friends. Playing is its own reward and an important part of growing and learning. We are so thankful to be part of the Milaca School District and staff that works to share facilities and make sure we are doing the best for ALL of our students!
