In grades K-2 we have been learning about moving our bodies in different pathways (winding, zigzag, straight), at different levels (low, medium, high), using different locomotor skills (skipping, galloping, sliding), and in different directions (forward, backward, sideways). The students love traveling through the obstacle course, which combines all the skills and movements we have been discussing. The climbing wall is always a favorite for the students.  We have been discussing how the climbing wall builds strong muscles. In grades 3-5, we have been practicing teamwork and discussing communication and cooperation. The students are playing Gatorball, which is a game where each team has to work together to move the gatorball across the court in order to score a goal.

Mustang Trotters begins in October and meets on Tuesday afternoons.  Be on the lookout for more info in Friday Folders at the end of September.
