What a warm day it was today! Warm in terms of the temperature and warm in terms of the smiles. Today, Miss Kritzeck's fifth period class went to go join the special ed's physical education class. At this point, the sun is shining and we're energized after a quick lunch break, so it's time to rock and roll! We started off the period with doing some good ol' stretches-followed by a lap around the track. Now, I guess in any case, I wasn't wearing the right type of shoe for the occasion, so I kept it slow and talked to some of the other students along the way. Bright and chipper as ever, we exchanged pleasantries and bounced bad jokes off of each other. We then followed suit with a drill where we would get comfortable with a small blue ball. We started off with rolling the ball back and forth. Then slowly, the class changed positions from a sit, to a kneel, to a pushup, finally to an upright position where we practiced catching and throwing the ball with one hand. Needless to say, hand-eye coordination is not my strong suit. However, even if I couldn't catch, my two other group mates and I joined hands to compete against the extremely athletic S-man! As the girl next to me said, we totally won.
Winning against someone or not, this day was a victory on our part as we managed to go through the day and hopefully, make a difference. In this case, I hope we were able to make the students in that class happy by adding a hint of spice to their daily life. In any case, if we didn't then they surely made a difference in my day as I had much fun hanging out with them-despite the hardening of my heels and the over bearing sun shining above us.
