Scooterville

This week and next in Preschool through Kindergarten your child will have either received their official Scooter Licence or had it renewed for this year :) This means that they passed their scooter driving test which consisted of showing me they could move around the room forward on their bottom, backwards, and on their tummy. And, of course they also had to pass the safety portion of the test!
Scooters are a very fun way for kids to use core strength and build muscle while practicing spatial awareness, balance, coordination, and speed control.

But, how much more fun if you can do all that while scooting around Scooterville?!? We avoided the hot fire canyons, went under the "Whozawhatsit" tunnel, drove around the Wishing Well Rotary a few times :) and even got our scooters washed at the Scooterville Car Wash. Needless to say, their imaginations and skills were put to work while they maneuvered around various obstacles, and learned to be safe 'defensive drivers'.

Check out some pictures of the Prekindergarten scooting around Scooterville:
