We made our way to the back field from the Kindergarten wing with some difficulty. This turned out to be the hardest part of getting twenty six-year-olds on bikes. Just let them ride!
K-City was drawn out in chalk and cones with a few traffic signals creating a two-way stop. "The Curves" were harder than some of us realized when a slight decline made breaking necessary. Still, no blood was spilt and Lehna was hailed as the best "jumper" of the bunch. That girl can leap of a moving vehicle without a single scratch. Something she had obviously perfected!
Students were required to stop, wait, and walk their bike across our intersection. Thanks to Sue, Missy, Shannon and Trina, we had no collisions. Missy had a great siren on hand for any traffic violations.
We took our learning very seriously.
Some kindergarteners shared their bicycles with those who could not bring a bike. Finella lets Caitlin ride while practicing her signals by walking the track. I was very impressed with Alexa, who let another student with less ability ride her bike while she helped push (and steer)!
We push our kindergarteners very hard...too hard? Let Cotter answer that question.
Alexa and Paul create mobil art when they figure an easier way to carry helmets.
