The other day Lee came home from school and we asked to see his bag to look at the papers that the school sends home. Pretty typical of what we do when they get home. So the other day was not any different.
But yet little did I know, the school is trying to step their game up. Frank and I received from the school a little piece of paper for Lee. Because it's so funny I'm just going to type word for word what it says. And then you guys can decide for yourselves.
Here's the note:
Skipping
Your child needs help with their skip. Please practice with them. To get them started, have them step on one foot, then hop on that same foot. Then alternate to the other foot. Repeat.
With just a little practice, they will master the skipping action.
Thanks for you help.
(the teachers name)
P.E. Specialist
PLEASE tell me the rest of you are laughing hysterically!?! Cause I have been off and on all day. Who gets homework in PE? And then on top of it all, it's signed the PE specialist? Well if they are the specialist I think that they are more qualified than I to teach my child to skip...cracked me up!! And to send home directions on how to skip...if as an adult you don't know how to skip don't you have bigger things to worry about than that? Who doesn't know how to skip (sides my kid)?
Anyway, thought I'd share that with you, gotta love the schools sometimes.

ReplyDeleteOh you know it!!! Although I might just not justify it...We have bigger fish to fry than worrying about whether Lee can skip or not...like reading. But apparently, a teacher friend of mine says there's a correlation between a kid knowing how to skip and then knowing how to read. Whether I put any stock in that I don't know. Stranger things have been true.
ReplyDeleteAnita, don't laugh skipping is important. It has to do with coordination ect. Scott's teacher taught him in second grade up and down the hall. Sounds funny but it really isn't.
ReplyDeletePeople have also said it's important to crawl before you walk and I'm not sure I believe that, being that I have had all early walkers. Just never know sometimes. I think they figure it out eventually.
