A LEAP and a HOP

We have been using the LEAP resource activities within our classroom as the movement portion of our lessons, for planning quick body breaks, and for adding large motor play to our recess breaks.  These activities require minimal equipment, using everyday household items and provide clear instruction that even our grade five helpers can understand and implement.  We have distributed HOP recipes to parents seeking recipes that their children will enjoy.  These nutritious snacks and meals are both easy to make and delicious!  Thank you for these fantastic resources! ~Pre-Kindergarten Staff, Fairhaven School, Saskatoon, SK  

Fruits and Veggies Galore!

We are offering healthy homemade soups, many vegetable and fruit platters (where kids choose their own foods), and bringing in lots of whole grains.  We’re realizing that preschoolers can really enjoy cauliflower and broccoli!  Yum! ~Jessica, Kinder Kollege, Kindersley, SK

Skipping Together

We are doing LEAP activities and working on gross motor skills almost every day.  It was nice to discover that I had not forgotten how to skip and gallop myself!  It was adorable seeing a little boy who’s two skipping with the older kids.  We are located in a school and luckily we have access to the gym every morning and after school, so the kids can run and really move around. ~Jody, Early Childhood Educator, Lake Lenore, SK
