St. Cecilia Spotlight - Dec 18
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
We recently wrapped up a joyful and energetic dance unit in our physical education classes for grades 4-8, and what a delightful time it was! Students danced to the rhythms of classic line dances, including the Cha Cha Slide, Macarena, Cupid Shuffle, and the Chicken Dance. They took their newfound skills to the next level by creating their own line dance routines featuring 6-8 count movements set to the festive tune of “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.” Incorporating partner work, arm movements, and footwork, every student showcased their creativity and enthusiasm, and the results were truly impressive!
Meanwhile, our younger students in grades 1-3 had an equally fantastic time grooving to the Chicken Dance and engaging in holiday-themed games that emphasized throwing and running skills. The highlight for them was undoubtedly the North and South Pole Elves game, which brought laughter and excitement. Our kindergarteners joined in on the fun with the Grinch game, where they used their Grinch sticks (pool noodles) to steal presents (balls) from a hula hoop, only to have the elves return them. In a heartwarming twist, the Grinches ultimately grew a heart and returned all the presents to the hula hoop at the end of the game!
Overall, the spirit of fun and teamwork shone through in every activity, making this dance unit a memorable experience for all!
