Teeth are chattering, jackets are zipping, and hot cocoas are pouring!

It's definitely getting colder out there, but here at The Little gym in Glenview, kids are staying TOASTY warm! We are keeping our bodies in motion as well as our minds! Kids in our Parent/Child classes are exploring their worlds, gaining independence and trying new skills. We are finishing up a learning unit that incorporated colors into our physical skills! The focus was to teach and reinforce color awareness, recognition and memorization through color related music and activities! Our more structured Pre-K gymnastics classes are helping kids with listening skills and following directions while also emphasizing balance and coordination. Our Kindergarten age groups are doing that as well as learning to work in groups and cooperate- Social skills and learning how to control our emotions as well as our bodies is very important at these ages.

Our Grade school ages kids are working hard on strength and confidence. The sky is the limit for this age if they are feeling sure of themselves and their surroundings. Our other programs are moving right along with our winter themes, our dance kids are twirling like snowflakes, sports classes are improving their arm strength to fling those snow balls, and out karate kids are practically chopping firewood with their bare hands! (Ok that may be an exaggeration....) We are having as much fun as summer vacation, no matter what the thermometer says!

Don't forget- we have our awesome winter day camps coming up. Space is limited so book your days ASAP!

Finally, remember that giving someone some Serious Fun is an excellent gift for any occasion! We have gift certificates available if you want to give the unique gift of skill building and Three-Dimensional Learning!!

Until next time,

Your friends in fitness, fun, and fundamentals at The Little Gym of Glenview!
