Future APC Gymnasts

Today kicked off the second week of our APC Summer Olympics program. This week is dedicated to one of my favorite summer Olympic sports, Gymnastics. We talked about the different events and all of the practice that these amazing athletes have to put in to make it to the Olympics.

Then the kids created and decorated their own dancing ribbons so that we could have a whole school "floor routine" dance party! The dance party was a huge success and everyone showed off some serious dance moves! 




Some of the teachers even got in on the action. We ended the day by practicing tumbling, log rolls and cart-wheels down the hill. All in all, it was a great day to be an APC Olympian! Can't wait to see how they handle the balance beam tomorrow!!


 Seeing all of these gymnasts in action today got me pretty excited for Mr. Joe's gymnastics class to resume this fall. Mr. Joe comes every Wednesday and does a great gymnastics class right at the school! If you haven't signed up before definitely look into it for the upcoming academic year.
