Winter: Will it ever stop!

We have had a crazy winter this year, and not just outside with all the snow! The classes had a great time juggling and working on a variety of juggling skills. The students worked on traditional juggling, diablo's, devil sticks, balancing feathers, pins, and even stilts! It was a blast watching them work the the variety of equipment and challenge themselves. We are currently finishing up one of our lifetime activity units: bowling. The students learned about the unique history of this ancient game and some of the benefits they receive from bowling. The students also learned how to properly roll the ball, set the pins up, and keep score (math integration!). Once we finish this unit, we will be moving onto dance. Being active is a great way to take away those winter blues!
