Gymnastics Pictures from December

Gymnastics Rocks! Gymnastics is one of the best units all year!  The students love it and do a great job! We spend the entire month of december working on gymnastics.  We begin with some easy tumbling like the log roll, egg roll and pencil roll.  Then we move on and try about 8 different forward rolls.  The big wedge mat, or cheese mat, comes out to help us roll backwards!  We keep our legs in the pike position, straddle position or tuck position during each roll.  Handstands are always fun, but we use the wall to help us first before we try anything too hard.  We always use spotters and are safe when trying our stunts.  The students love to do their cartwheels and roundoffs.  We even attempt to do one handed cartwheels and roundoffs!  After we practice our tumbling over and over we begin stations.  Out comes some great equipment like balance boards, the balance beam, the vault and other fun stuff.  It never seems like we have enough time in each class period to get all the stuff done that we would like.  When the month is over we look back at all that we have accomplished and are proud of the work we have done.
