Activities:
* This week we will start to work on
Kicking!! We will start with larger balls
that have sand in them so they won’t roll
away as the children practice kicking. As
they master kicking with that type of ball
we will move to balls with no sand so
they can practice trapping and stopping
the ball. We will also practice kicking into
a target.
