Week 18

Dance/Gymnastics

This week in dance and gymnastics we are practicing our jumps! In the toddler rooms we are reviewing our bunny hops and frog jumps and also practicing our jumping on the mini trampoline. In the preschool rooms we are reviewing tuck, pike, and straddle jumps and we are practicing our jumps on the mini trampoline as well. We also played a game with a dice that has all of the jumps on it. The children would roll the dice and which ever jump it lands on is the jump that they get to do on the trampoline.

Rock and Rollers

This week in Rock and Rollers we are improvising the double-mini by using a mat and a mini trampoline. The children are combining tuck, pike, and straddle jumps with forward rolls and log rolls. We also reviewed line dances and played "Freeze Dance"!

This week in dance and gymnastics we pretended like we were in the circus by imitating circus animals, crawling through hula hoops while acting like tigers, and walking on a piece of string like the tightrope in the toddler rooms. We went ice skating on paper plates and played a different version of "Freeze Dance" with an ice cube in the preschool rooms.
