Flipping for Gymnastics

We are very lucky that school #2 is right next door to a gymnastics facility, Northstar Gymnastics, and for a fee for the class the kids can go over and have a gymnastics lesson once a week during school. Caelun went on Wednesdays. Usually I don’t get to see it because it happens while I am teaching but while we were on winter break we didn’t have school but we still had gymnastics so I got to go and watch the wild man fly through he air. He absolutely loved it. I see more of this in our future along with some dance lessons. I did both gymnastics and dance at the age he is now and I loved it as well. It is good to build his coordination, motor skills, core strength, and it is also good for learning to follow directions and team work. Besides all that it is just plain fun.

Miss. Stephanie helps them work on their splits.

Now to climb the ladder and do a tuck and roll on the foam.
