Juggling Weeks 2-3

The students are into the second part of their juggling unit. During the first two weeks they have been working on traditional (Cascades) juggling, the tossing and catching of balls and scarves. We are now into the second part of the unit, learning non-traditional juggling skills. These include balancing plates, diablo's, devil sticks, balancing feathers, rings, and juggling pins. The equipment is set up around the room in stations and the students experiment with each item. The classes are really enjoying this time while working on hand-eye-coordination at the same time!

Juggling

The classes have moved on from our dance unit and into juggling. I am trying to work on uploading some videos from the dance unit, hopefully we can figure out why they are not syncing with this website! Our focus during the juggling unit is on hand-eye-coordination. Juggling is a great activity that works on increasing our ability to control our bodies to what our eyes are seeing. During this time, the classes will work on traditional juggling (tossing/catching objects), but they will also get to explore non-traditional types of juggling too (spinning plates, yo-yo's, etc.).
