A New Group of PE Kids

This week we switched rotations. The students who were attending PE went to Music. The students who were in Health came to PE!!! Yeah! I'm so glad to see these kids. It's been a few months!

Some of the classes have already learned a simplified version of the Cha Cha Slide. Lots of fun!
Next week we'll add the grapevine and really get a workout. I haven't found any really great instructional videos for this slide, but here's the official video. It shows small snapshots of the steps.
