With the end of the school year here my job has gotten even more fun! I love getting to help my kiddos enjoy field day and water day! Watching the excitement on their faces when they throw a ball or run a race is the most humbling experience. They don’t focus on winning or being the best, they are simply loving the fact that they are participating and having a blast. Seeing that always makes me look at things in a different light and want to live life with the joy they have.
Some of the activities the schools did were not appropriate for my therapy kids. Luckily I work for a system that works with us and allows us to add our own fun to things! One of my schools hosted a water day with huge inflatable slides and water games. My kiddos couldn’t climb the slide or play the games but we were given the “ok” to do whatever we wanted to make our own water day happen. The stations we set up would be perfect for an at-home water day and incorporate goals we work on in therapy!
