Ms. Mo has really been working with the kids to get them to stand up from a forward roll. Today was more obstacle course work and practice with the forward roll.
To get the class warmed up, Ms. Mo had them do a series of jumping exercises… jump the stick, jump the step, jump the hoops.
Isabel came back through the course; they had a few close calls (collisions with each other!!) since the kids thought they were supposed to go back the way they came instead of just running back to get in line!
Jumping over the step. Ms. Mo was also gaining knowledge as she watched each of the kids to see which foot is the most dominate.

After practicing the forward roll with Ms. Mo they were told to work their way around the room again, just as in past classes. Today the exercises were:
monkey roll, balance beam work with ice cream scoop, jumping the step (just like in the warm up), jumping the hoops (just like in the warm up), cart wheel practice, forward roll practice w/out help, and then forward roll w/help and “aides” (steps, wedge, mat, and Ms. Mo).
Ms. Mo hasn’t handed out certificates the last several classes so it was great to get one today! The scent for today was LEMON!
