Final Fishing Club and Thanks!

We want to thank Sam and Connie from M-15 Bait and Tackle for donating so much to our program, from bait and tackle to rods, reels, and life jackets! The kids really appreciate it! Please stop in there for your fishing needs, they are located on the corner of M-15 and Mt. Morris Rd. Also, thanks to Steve Bourcier for coming out for every club and helping out! The extra set of eyes and hands was definitely needed. If you see him out and about in the community (it seems like he's always out and about) tell him thanks.

5/24 Wednesday is Cancelled!!!

Due to the predicted weather, class is cancelled today and rescheduled for next Wednesday, 5/31. Here are some kids from Monday!

The first two days of the fishing club is spent learning water safety, knot tying, and practicing casting. Here are a few pictures from the first couple days.

Parachute Fun!

We recently did the parachute with the Kindergartner's at Otisville. We learned how to make smoothies with different fruits, and salads with both fruits and vegetables!

Bowling

One of the fun weeks is where we do bowling, practicing our underhand roll, teamwork, and math skills!

Fishing Club

Fishing Club will be starting soon! The dates are in May, every Monday and Wednesday till 5:30. Snacks, equipment and bait are provided, all you need to bring is a life jacket! (I do have a few I can lend out.) M-15 Bait and tackle is kind enough to sponsor us, providing the bait and hooks. The cost is $20 and includes a t shirt. We will learn basic water safety, knot tying, casting - the basics for fishing. Come on out!

Hockey Skills

                                                                          Hockey 

Some kids were asking for some more info on stickhandling and hockey in general, I found a pretty good video and it's posted above. The good news is you can do most of these drills off the ice at home. Here are a few sites for more information:

Instep Kick

                                                                     Instep Kick


                                               




We have been and will continue working on the instep kick. The instep is the part of the foot where your shoe laces would normally be. Remind your kids not to kick with the end or toes of their feet, it's not safe and they could hurt themselves! Here is a short video below:
