Charlie and his sister Suzzane have always loved Muhammad. Were preparing Lesson Plans for this year’s Homeschool Physical Education. I knew one of our goals we needed to complete is getting Charlie up to move more. Getting him off Eelctronics.
I thought about enrolling Charlie into Basketball but all of those classes have already began. Then I thought of Martial Arts or Karate but Charlie said he didn’t want to take those classes. Being in Middle School Charlie has the opportunity to pick out what Extra Classes he wants to take.
With PE if I leave it up to Charlie he would say nothing even though we can walk outside and have a Swimming Pool to swim in during the Summer. Finally I’ve come to the conclusion I’m going to purchase weights and a punching bag. When I discussed with David what classes I settled on I let David know I would be looking into Boxing classes for Charlie as well.
To begin our studies this year Charlie is going to study Mammad Ali in our Homeschool Reading Class. Using the magazine below David purchased for Charlie. As well as books I find online. If you have tips on boxing or facts about Muhammad Ali please leave them in the comments and I will add them to our class schedule.
Muhammad Ali (born 20 June 1996) is a British professional boxer. As an amateur, he competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics, 2015 World Championships and the 2014 Youth World Championships where he won a silver medal.[1][2][3]
