Week At A Glance- Oct. 19-23

 

For the next while our focus will be on overall fitness. The students will be working on a variety of fitness stations everyday as their warm up such as jumping jacks, sit ups, mountain climbers and crab walk or planks. 

For the activity we will be learning and practicing jumping rope. Jumping rope is a great way to improve balance, coordination and reflexes as well as the students cardio endurance. 

This week we focused on the basics: How to hold a skipping rope and turn it. Every students is at a different level so it never hurts to start from scratch. 

Rope cues:

"Hands down low, and turn the rope slow." (PE Specialist)
