An extra boost to the SunRidge Games and Movement Program  

Mr. T is committed to continuing to learn and introduce new games to our students, and is constantly seek to expand the variety of materials and thus, experiences to be had. 

Children find in themselves previously-undeveloped capacities which spring forth when challenged! The spirit of imagination weaves its way through the Games and Movement program as students are encouraged to be creative in approaching every challenge, riddle, and strategy presented. Mr. T's guiding principles as teacher are the four agreements: mutual respect, attentive listening, right to participate, and appreciations.

The SunRidge Movement program is offered to Classes 1-8. Among the types of games played are cooperative teambuilding initiatives; problem-solving challenges; hand-eye coordination; and skill-based activities such as games involving dodging, tagging, running, skipping, throwing, aiming, balancing, and others. In addition, Class 5 is invited every year to participate in an Olympic Pentathlon gathering that requires months of physical and mental preparation. Class 6 participates in the Mayacamas Medieval Tournament, another region-wide event where students run, aim, throw, jump and generally get muddy! Class 7 adventures in the ideas of survival, blindness, and pathfinding in the Explorers’ Challenge, and in Class 8, students participate in a track meet with other schools. These culminating movement events are long-standing traditions in Waldorf-inspired schools.
