This week we will be starting our skipping unit. Skipping is a great activity that you can do by yourself using one simple piece of equipment, a skipping rope.

Activities in this unit will be divided into two groups (K-1) and (2-5), but students and families are free to explore everything that is posted.

For some students skipping comes easy and they will make quick progress learning the different activities and tricks, but for most it takes time and lots of practice to learn even the basic jump. With the extra time we have at home now, I hope everyone will take this opportunity all the fun things you can do with a shipping rope.

K-1

Activities: 5 minute warm-up, followed by the following: Single jump, double jump, and the skier.
