Gymnastics!

All students are currently participating in the educational gymnastics unit.  Last week students worked on rolling.  The rolls they practiced include: log, pencil, egg, stick, ninja and the forward roll.

This week we are adding jumping and landing.  Students are in mat groups with trampolines.  We are working on two feet take-offs and two feet landings.  This week we are also focusing on Gabby Douglas (the first African American gymnast to win a gold medal in the All-Around competition).  Students are watching a clip on the sacrifices her family made during her Olympic training.  Students will also see video clips of her performances.
