Whats there to do on a Rainy Day?
January, 2011 - On rainy or extremely cold days St. John's students have P.E. in a classroom. There are certain lessons that work really well, especially the rhythmical activities required for all around good physical development. We do video exercise programs, musical activity games, novelty dance steps, and many manipulative activities such as juggling and cup stacking. So, the occasional inclement weather day actually gives us an opportunity to work on skills we might over look when we are outside.
