Hello, it is Sophia. Today was the day that instead of going outside to play for recess, I helped my gym teacher with his roudy kindergarten class. The kids are so cute and I think they really look up to me. Today after running our laps and doing our relay races, we played with hula-hoops. For 2 minutes we played freely with them (some kids spun them around and when the spinning died down they would try to jump inside the hula-hoop and then jump out again). After the 2 minutes were up, we played "bus driver". The kids held the hula-hoop like it was a steering wheel and when Mr. Carnes said to "Put on the breaks!", they pretended to press on the break with their foot. When Mr. Carnes said, "Rain storm!" the kids put their hula-hoops above their head, dropped them around their bodies and then waved their arms like wind-shield-wipers. It was a very fun day at gym. It was almost as fun as going out to recess on this beautiful day!!!Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.
