*A Class Example*
As students arrive, you greet them with a high five or wave. Class starts each week with all students sitting around you and doing stretches together. Pizza stretch, butterfly stretch, hands to the sky, and tickling toes make stretches fun for kids! Everyone grabs a ball with you and you all run together to kick over cones, clapping and cheering each child on as they go. You show them how to stop their soccer ball by squishing it like a bug with their foot. After a water break, you move on to dribbling the ball down the field and scoring goals while cheering on each child by name. At the end of class you do more stretches, and bring out the colorful parachute for each child to grab a handle and wave in the air with you before running under. - This is a typical class day !
