Gymnastics in PE

Students are currently participating in Gymnastics in PE class.  All grades are learning Balances, Rolls, and Jumps.  Students are working on these skills in individual, partner, and small group settings.  As a culminating project students in Kindergarten and grades 1,2 will use the skills to create small floor and balance beam routines.  Students in grades 3,4 will work in groups to create a floor routine, which they will watch on the ipad and then complete a self-assessment of their routine. 
Students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move around in during the gymnastics unit!  Please email me at Amanda.Cowan@cesuvt.org if you have any questions.

Jump Rope for Heart Final Results

We had a fantastic day on March 7th participating in Jump Rope for Heart.  Students completed a variety of jumping stations, including Chinese Jump Rope, Group Jumping, and even an all school challenge.  All students were asked to count how many times they jumped in 5 minutes.  Our UID School total number of jumps was 16,471!!  That is over 3,000 jumps more than we got last year.  Our fundraising efforts are complete and UID raised a total of $445.00 for the American Heart Association.  Way to go UID!!
