Motor Labs weekly update:

St. Paul's offers a gross motor lab for all M/W/F and Pre-K students. The skills that children work on are based on brain development and aid the child in attaining readiness goals. Children should wear tennis shoes. Those with long hair should have it tied back into a pony tail and girls should not wear dresses on motor lab days. Please check with you classroom teacher to see which days your child participates.
