January 31 - February 4

Welcome to February! The month of hearts and speaking of hearts, we are going to focus this week on jumping rope. This simple exercise can be done with an individual rope, or a long rope. In my classes this week we are having students test for their jump rope ninja belt. I will put some resources on the website to you too can participate. Each grade level from 1st Grade to 5th has their own levels of achievement to reach in this challenge. Your jumps must be consecutive (no misses) in order to advance. The thing that I love about this is that the more you practice, the better you are going to get and you will earn more belts. I will also link a sheet with some ninjas on them that you can color in with the belt level you are able to reach. Good luck and keep jumping. I will also include a few other jump rope challenges that you can try and some instructional videos for jumping rope basics.

There is no skill assessment for this week for any grades for the students that are doing the virtual program. Just turn in your accountability form with the check boxes. Don't forget to turn that in for credit.
