"We get to take off our shoes and go on the wrestling mats!!" Students love our next unit because it is very different then what we have been learning so far this year. This week we started our fundamental gymnastics unit where students learn about controlling their body through balancing and transferring their own body weight. Today students practiced balancing on a variety of and different numbers of body parts without wiggling. We ended class with Balance Tag. If a student is tagged they balance in any position they like. The only way to get free is if a friend copies their balance for 5 seconds with them. It is fun to see what creative balances students can come up with! On the right are kindergarten students playing Balance Tag.
Discover what your child is learning in Physical Education this year! My teaching goal is to instill in all students a love for living a healthy and active lifestyle.
