The book we read today talked about the invisible buckets we all carry around with us. When our buckets are "full" we feel happy. We can fill each others buckets by being kind, doing, or saying nice things, and by smiling at each other. When we fill someone's bucket, we fill our own buckets as well!
Riding tricycles is an activity that engages many different muscle groups, and requires balance and coordination. Children first have to use abdominal muscles to stay upright and balance themselves on the bike. They use their feet and leg muscles to pedal, their arm and hand muscles to steer, and their eyes to see where they are going. We are fortunate to have a bike trail that has some turns and hills to challenge our young riders. The look of pride on their face is evident when they navigate a turn, or finally make it up the hill!!
