OMIS PE: Eagles On The Move…

CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE AWESOME KIDS WHO COMPLETED THEIR MERCEDES KID’S MARATHON BY RUNNING THEIR FINAL MILE DOWNTOWN AS A PART OF THE MERCEDES MARATHON WEEKEND.  THE 4 “OLDER KIDS” IN THE PHOTO COMPLETED THE MERCEDES HALF MARATHON THE FOLLOWING MORNING–FOLLOWED PROMPTLY BY A LONG NAP!

WE ARE ENJOYING SOME FUN MUSIC AND GOOD TIMES AS WE WORK THROUGH OUR RHYTHMS UNIT.  EACH YEAR WE PRESENT THE CONCEPT OF RHYTHM THROUGH LINE DANCE AND TINIKLING.  STUDENTS DISCUSS OTHER AREAS OF THEIR LIVES WHERE HAVING RHTHYM IS BENEFICIAL(PRETTY MUCH ALL OF IT).  WE TALK ABOUT HOW HAVING THE ABILITY TO GET INTO A GOOD RHYTHM CAN LEAD TO SUCCESS IN SPORTS OUTSIDE OF DANCE.  

WE ARE STARTING THE NEW YEAR OFF RIGHT WITH OUR GYMNASTICS UNIT.  WE WILL FOCUS ON STRETCHING, SAFETY, AND THE BENEFITS OF GYMNASTICS AS WE LEARN AND PRACTICE ROLLS, CARTWHEELS, ROUND-OFFS, INDIVIDUAL AND PARTNER BALANCING STUNTS, HEADSTANDS AND HANDSTANDS, AND SOME FUN ACTIVITIES USING THE SPRINGBOARDS AND VAULTING BOXES.

TO ALL OF OUR OMIS EAGLES AND THEIR FAMILIES….

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING BREAK WITH YOUR FAMILIES!  WE ARE BACK AT IT WITH OUR JUGGLING AND SPEEDSTACKS UNITS!!
