Our gymnastics unit will run from April 7-17. We will begin with safety routines, mat/floor work, then followed by the introduction to larger equipment. We are fortunate to own some gymnastics equipment and teachers have volunteered to attend workshops to prepare themselves for teaching this unit.

Throughout our Physical Education units, students are provided with numerous opportunities to develop their individual skills, celebrate their achievements, collaborate with others, and demonstrate sportsmanship. Emphasis is placed on fostering teamwork and personal satisfaction within a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment.

Student Expectations:

* No jewelry, loose clothing, skirts or dresses

* Bare feet, running shoes or gymnastics slippers are acceptable

* Tie back long hair, please send your child to school with a hair tie if needed

* Students work independently or in small groups, QUIETLY (no distracting others)

* Students do what they are comfortable doing. No showing off or daring

* Students must land on their feet or seat on the crash mat

* Although some students have had private gymnastics training, there will be NO: aerial stunts such as dive rolls, somersaults (flips), head springs or handsprings, or pyramids

Safety is very important at Sundance School. Students must be ready to participate and conduct themselves in a cooperative and safe manner. Please review these expectations at home with your child to help them better understand the importance we stress about safety.
