Green Elementary School offers a
four-week gymnastics program to all students. |
|
The gymnastics classes are unique in the physical education curriculum here at Green. The students participate in tumbling, and apparatus activities four days a week for four weeks. They will be jumping off balance beams, vaults, parallel bars, and springboards at various heights and speeds. As well, the students will be contorting their bodies into varies shapes and positions during stretching and tumbling activities. Safety for our students is very important and good behavior is key to our students being safe. Outstanding behavior during the gymnastic classes is expected of every student. Students having trouble with their behavior will be asked to sit out for their safety and that of others.
In addition to safety issues there is a clothing requirement for students. Loose fitting clothes, sweat pants, shorts and lightweight pants are acceptable. Clothing that stays tucked, that is separated top from bottom provides the best opportunity for your child to learn. Due to the inflexibility of jeans we ask that kids do not wear them for the sixteen days they have gymnastics.
The class runs for four weeks, four days per week. Therefore, for the sixteen days during your child’s gymnastic class please help your students find appropriate clothing to wear. A grade of Satisfactory will be given if a student wears jeans, overall-style clothes and/or short T-shirts that may be revealing when your child is upside down. |
