All School Hike
As I'm sure you already know, this Friday, September 25, is our EMES All School Hike! Mr. Sherwin has been working super hard sending home documents, collecting paperwork and chasing down chaperones to help wrangle our kiddos up and down a mountain (or bike path).
PE classes have been practicing hiking skills (especially with our little ones- grades K-3) in our school path behind the playground. Students have been learning and demonstrating how to travel on the path between adults, staying on the path and away from possible hazards, strategy for ascending and descending steep sections of the mountain, and how to keep a reasonable pace and comfortable/safe space between friends on the trail. I've brought in clothing to demonstrate appropriate attire and even offered to eat some students' lunches that might not be a good choice for hike day- unfortunately there weren't any takers for the lunch eating demo!
Please make sure that your child is prepared for the hike. Clothing, food and hydration are things that we can help with at home. If you have any question about the hike, feel free to contact me, or Michael Sherwin. Cross your fingers for some favorable weather, otherwise we'll hope for something better on Friday, October 2.
For your viewing pleasure, check out the circle what works paper below we do for fun with the newer hikers!
