The Carleton Chronicle
A weekly update from Carleton Middle School.
Clark's Corner
I, like many of you, feel a little trapped in the house during this time of year. Our children all feel this way too, a fact that became abundantly clear as I yelled at my boys for jumping on the couch for a third time in an hour. As parents we are challenged with being in charge of our children's' academic health, as well as their physical health and providing enough activity in the dog days of winter is quite a challenge that I certainly do not have all of the answers to.
I was hoping to share a few ideas with you to make sure that our children are all up and moving. As I share these ideas I encourage you to share, and look forward to hearing some of yours. (You can send them to clark@wcskids.net)
Look for activities at your local rec center, I know many of our kids play basketball, enjoy open gym time at the Warren Recreation Center, or find it fun to go to an open swim time at a nearby pool.
Find a location to walk, I just saw one of our students walking with his family at Lakeside Mall. Get out and go to the library, the library is a great place to walk around and pick up a good book. In the Clark house we are enjoying "Auggie & Me" every night.
Thank you for reading and please feel free to share your ideas to add more movement in our children's' lives so that I can pass them along.
