A lot of review and something new today in tumbling/gymnastics. The 4 foot balance beam!
To warm up the class, Ms. Mo had them work on all the routines they did last week. The airplane, the rock-n-roll, and the candlestick. She also had them running in place to get their hearts going.
They did the obstacle course again today. Beginning with the floor level balance beam, doing donkey kicks or the forward roll, then doing more balance beam work, crawling through the long tunnel, doing a handstand, and ending with the 4 ft. balance beam.
Working with Ms. Mo on the floor level balance beam.
Need to work on keeping those arms up!
Practicing those donkey kicks.
Ms. Mo had a name for this pad but I can’t remember now…balance beam work. The trick was to keep from falling off because the mat was so squishy.
She’s finally able to show Ms. Mo that she can do the handstand as well now.
Only 3 of the kids in class are able to do this and Isabel is one of them!
First try on the balance beam.
She made it to the end, now what?
I didn’t get a photo of the dismount… it was to blurry.
Practicing the log roll. Notice her feet are not together… she was rushing through it.
2nd of 3 tries on the 4 foot balance beam. She did great. Ms. Mo was very proud of the class for being so confident on the beam!
