Special Olympics Skating Events

For the past couple of weeks we have been going to the skating rink in Conyers to participate in Special Olympics Skating Events.


Our girls (Tyrisha, Lexi, and Lucy) have become the best of friends!!
Lucy is following in the footsteps of her older friends and is now skating in "big girl" skates!

Ms. Stowe and Tyrisha pose for a picture. Tyrisha has been working very hard and is able to skate without assistance!! Yay!

Last week, Lexi let go of her teacher's hands and wanted to skate with her friend, Tradarius! Tradarius was so sweet and helped Lexi skate many laps around the skating rink!
Last week was also a huge step for Eric. He was scared at first but he, too, let go of his teacher's hands and skated ALL by himself!!! Great Job Eric and wonderful news for the backs of his teachers! Ha! Ha!
Tradarius has proven that he is a GREAT skater. He learned to do the "Snoopy" where he has to sqwat down and put one foot in front of him while skating very fast! He also learned to skate backwards!! Wow!!! Ms. Malcom was jealous because she doesn't know how to skate! :-)

I am so proud of all of my students and their hard work at the skating events! It takes a lot of courage to let go of your teacher's hands and skate without assistance but my students did this with determination and dedication!
