OCTOBER

Be Healthy

photo of childSkills to Practice this Month

See that your child has opportunities for many different types of physical activity.

Upon entering kindergarten many children can run, jump, swing, and use balls.

Most 4 and 5 year olds can kick a ball, throw a ball, catch a ball, climb, stand on one foot for a short time, hop, and do a somersault. Some may be able to skip.
