IT IS NEVER TO EARLY TO MOVE IN P.E.

    I strongly believe that Gymnastics should be apart of every Physical Education (K-6) curriculum. Gymnastics covers many aspects of motor development, for it encourages proper movement and life long fitness. Coordination, flexibility, muscular strength/endurance, balance, stability. agility, manipulation and many other skills can be improved using gymnastics because the environment can be manipulated to suit the needs of all skill levels.

    Here is a simple kidnastics routine that me and my partner created; it consists of four movement categories: balance, jumps, vaults, and rolls. Here is the sequence of moves you are watching in order. FORWARD ROLL/up incline mat, V-SCALE(balance), STAR JUMP, BACKWARD ROLL/down incline mat, 180 degree JUMP, BEAR CRAWL(vault), DONKEY KICK(vault), and an AIRPLANE SCALE(balance).

THE END MEANS NEW BEGINNINGS

                This was our last day at St. Mary’s. I learned a lot about the motor development of children as well as about myself as a future physical education teacher. After all this time, I learned that it takes a lot more repetitions’ for young children to get better at motor skills. I also learned that is critical that children receive constant general and specific feedback in order to build their esteem, confidence, and efficacy. As for me, I need to be more clear when I am giving directions. It will also benefit me to always remember that attitude and body language can sometimes speak louder than my words. LAB 6
