Featured Units for March - Volleyball and Gymnastics/Tumbling
All students learn basic volleyball skills of serving, setting, and bumping. Intermediate grades progress to net games and learning game rules. Primary grades focus on individual skills with lighter balls and conclude with play across a lower net. A favorite volleyball activity is four square volleyball using an over sized ball.
In gymnastics/tumbling, the skills students will be working on are forward rolls, backward rolls, log rolls, balancing, flexibility and locomotor movements. All students have been learning and applying the components of fitness (cardio-respiratory endurance, muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, and body composition) by doing exercises related to each component.
