Our kindergarten children are in charge of moving the tricycles out to the playground each morning. (It is one of those "jobs" they are learning to do.) The children are eager to participate because they ride the trikes out on the playground to their parking places much like the cars in the Indy 500 lining up for the start of a race. At playground time, there is another opportunity to ride and the children love to have a turn. Riding the trikes has been a popular activity since they were introduced a few years ago. Miss Cyndie remembered trike riding as a routine in the early days of the Heiskell School (The tricycles were parked in the present day art classroom.) and knew of the benefits to developing bodies and minds. We teachers are delighted to see our children developing balance, coordination, and muscle strength while just having fun. Who knows if someday we will have some graduates in the Indy 500?
