WE KICKED OFF OUR JUMP ROPE UNIT WITH A JUMP ROPE FOR HEART ASSEMEBLY IN THE BIG GYM BY

INFORMING OUR SCHOOL THE IMPORTANCE OF HEART HEALTH ON OUR

BIG SCREEN PROJECTOR.

WE USE A STOPWATCH/TIMER PROJECTED ON THE BIG SCREEN FOR STUDENTS TO MONITOR THEIR TIME AT

THE STATIONS AND FOR GOAL SETTING LIKE OUR LITTLE 1ST GRADER.

3RD GRADERS ARE PRESENTING HOW TO USE A LONG ROPE AFTER VIEWING THE BIG SCREEN

FOR INSTRUCTIONS.

HERE WE HAVE A 4TH AND 5TH GRADER WORKING TOGETHER PERFORMING PARTNER

ACTIVITIES AFTER VIEWING THEIR CHOICES ON THE BIG SCREEN.

THE BIG SCREEN IS USED AS A CONSTANT REMINDER THAT THE HEART IS A MUSCLE THAT NEEDS TO HAVE

A HEALTHY WORKOUT LIKE JUMPING ROPE .

THE 2ND GRADER IS SHOWING HIS JUMP ROPE SKILLS BY DOING SOME ROPE TRICKS AS HIS

PARTNER FILMS HIS MOVES WITH AN IPAD AT THE STATION.

3RD GRADERS TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THEIR LEARNING BY FILMING AND ASSESSING THEIR PARTNER AS MORE

HEART HEALTHY FACTS WERE PROJECTED ON THE WALL.

2ND GRADERS HAD A CHANCE TO WORK TOGETHER IN THE LONG ROPE STATION AS ANOTHER STUDENT

RECORDED THE ACTION TO BE VIEWED LATER.

THE STUDENTS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY THEIR OWN JUMP ROPING SKILLS INSTANTLY BY

REVIEWNG THEIR PERFORMANCE.

ADDITIONAL WAYS WE SHOW THAT JUMPING ROPE IS A GREAT HEART HEALTHY EXERCISE IS WHEN THE STUDENTS WEAR PEDOMETERS AND CHECK THEIR

HEART RATE WITH OUR HANDHELD MONITORS.
