Students in Mrs. Craig’s Human Growth and Development class have been learning about the importance of play in the growth and development of a toddler. Hopscotch - played by Roman soldiers over 300 years ago to build endurance - is a great outdoor activity that helps a child develop physically, intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Students learned about the history, rules and many benefits of hopscotch, and then taught some children from Walleta Bergsten’s daycare how to play!

We love having a senior in our classroom to inspire the students to be involved, helpful, and encouraging like Lydia!
