Book Character Day and Martial Arts

Lower School had book character day for Halloween. They got to pick a book they have read, do a book report on it, and dress up as a character in the book. So what do you do when your students come to class in their costumes? You have fun! Pictured below are some of our students enjoying a day in PE in their costumes. Some played keep away, while others play with hula hoops and played wall ball. The weather this month has turned wet and cold. On some days, the students were not able to enjoy their outdoor recess. So we decided to take advantage of one of our nice weather days and went outside for some fresh air. Also pictured below are some of our students enjoying some outdoor play. Our 7th and 8th-grade classes are extremely lucky to have a volunteer to come to teach them self-defense. Once a week, Master Juwana comes and works with the students. She is teaching them about balance, striking against predators, how to get away from holds and run away. She is also teaching them about discipline and respect. Pictured below are some of our students learning what part of the fist is used to strike. Also pictured is a student learning what to do if grabbed by the shirt by a bully. Come back soon and see what we are doing next!
