One of the highlights of the school year for Luke is the climbing wall unit. He missed the first round in the fall since we were in Russia but this week climbing wall started again. He did really well and is a lot braver than I am. (Side note: Gym class, I mean physical education class, has really changed since I was in school and we had to try to climb the rope.)
The class started with going over all of the safety rules. Then all of the students got into climbing harnesses and helmets. They could then pick which activities they wanted to do first. Luke started on the climbing wall. He worked the belay team for a couple of his classmates then it was his turn to climb. He headed up and got stuck for a minute 2/3 the way up but figured it out. I was really proud of him for making it, although he climbed off the platform before I got the camera going.
After the climbing wall, Luke moved on to the zip wire. It is his favorite activity but, having been the parent volunteer for it before, it is not the parents' favorite. However, if you are looking for a good work out for the day, this is the station to sign up for.
Next week Mark is going in for Luke's last climbing wall unit of the year. It is always a lot of fun with a group of really great kids.

So as the "parent volunteer" what do you have to do? Is it required that you do it as well?
