Students have been participating in GYMNASTICS in physical education classes the past two weeks. The gym floor is scatter with mats and students have been exploring with locomotor movements on their feet, animal walks across the mats, shape balances on mats and lastly special rolls on the flat and slanted mats. Kindergarten and First graders moved across the mats like bears, alligators, seals, spiders, crabs and a variety of different animals! They even had a chance to create their own animal walk. We were very impressed with their upper body and lower body strength and their ability to control their bodies to balance in a pose for 5 seconds. Students also learned how to pencil roll, log roll, egg roll and forward roll safely across a flat mat or a slanted mat. As an ending project, students are creating a mini gymnastics routine which they will have the chance to perform!
