Iron Horse students are Jumping Rope this rotation in Physical Education in preparation for our annual Jump Rope for Heart Event. The students love this unit and improve each day with instruction and practice of their skills. Our annual event will take place on Friday, February 24th, during the student’s specials time.
Not only is jumping rope a very good cardio endurance activity and a lifelong skill that we continue to develop in making our students aware of the 21st Century Skill of Health and Wellness, it has many more benefits. Jumping rope requires motor planning and motor sequencing. Some studies have shown that the ability to develop rhythm and timing can only improve the early reader’s skills and greatly impact literacy abilities. Jumping rope integrates many parts of the body and helps to solidify maturing motor skills. Ask your student to show you their favorite trick.
