In preschool, the frog leap is just a bit different than the old fashioned leap frog game where you jump over another person’s back…
In this classroom, the teacher laminated some lili-pads on the floor for her little frogs to leap across. We have the two-footed leap…
The split leap..
The full-body leap (sorry for a blurry photo – he was leaping kind of fast:) …
And the partner leap…
Another simple way to create some imaginative play and to promote some large motor control…

Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.
Let me tell ya...
With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.
God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.
Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'
