December 2013
December is almost over and what a month it has been! At Albany elementary, the students started the month by practicing their individual jump roping. Jump rope contracts were passed out in my class that had many different jumps that the students could try and perform. All the jump rope practice is getting us ready for the big Jump Rope for Heart event on Feb. 27th in the Albany Elementary gym.
For the last week and a half, the students have been roller skating in class. It has been so great to see the progress of all the skaters go from looking like Bambi on ice to looking like seasoned veterans on roller skates. This is a great unit for the students to get a great workout, listen to music while skating, and have a lot of fun.
After the students come back from Christmas break, we will start the always anticipated basketball unit. Dribbling, passing, and shooting drills all lead up to some mini games by the end of the unit. Everyone needs to make sure that they bring their tennis shoes to gym every day.
Enjoy your time off with family and friends and have a Merry Christmas! Go Huskies!
