Born to Roll
Students in Room 12 had a wonderful week gaining inline skating skills through a school wide Alien Inline Skating residency.
All of the students in Room 12 learned so much, including those who had never skated before to those students who already had lots of experience. They enjoyed playing collaborative games, skating to music and even a disco ball!
Why learn how to inline skate?
It is a high-intensity aerobic activity that raises your heart rate, improves endurance and cardiovascular health. It also helps to improve coordination and balance. It is a sport that people of most ages can actively participate in (taken from Health.com).
Some of the skills students in Room 12 worked on last week were:
How to properly get equipment on and off for inline skating so that you are adequately protected. (Helmet on first and taken off last!)
Students had the opportunity to participate in three one-hour long sessions. As their teacher, it was incredible to watch and see the growth every student made after each lesson. Their coach even mentioned how impressed he was to see so much determination and persistence coming from one class. What a compliment!
