Today our intermediate students started working on their gymnastics unit. We have partnered with Gym Sense Gymnastics to learn a variety of exercises and routines. The focus today was learning about the equipment, understanding safety expectations,  previewing the stations, and practicing following proper transition routines. In future lessons, students will explore how they move through space, work on strength building exercises, practice balance, learn to roll safely, and work safely with their peers on the equipment.

The Gym Sense staff will be joining us for the rest of the week, as well as for two weeks after Spring Break.

For you primary parents out there, don’t despair. We will also be using the small gym for gymnastics towards the end of the week, and then continue for a bit longer after Spring Break. All students will have a chance to participate in a variety of safe gymnastic activities.

If your students had gym today (in the large gym), ask them how gymnastics went. I’d be curious how they respond.

Take care
