Dance!

For the last few gym classes, we have begun our dance unit.  Not only are we integrating dance and gym, but we are able to satisfy the curriculum expectations in both subjects as well.  For six gym classes leading up to the Christmas break, we are learning about spatial awareness, body position, static and dynamic stretches, and moving to the beat and tempo of songs.  After Christmas we will work to choreograph our own dances.
