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 1 ST GRADER.

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

HERE WE HAVE A 4 TH AND 5 TH 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 2 ND GRADER IS SHOWING HIS JUMP ROPE SKILLS BY DOING SOME ROPE TRICKS AS HIS PARTNER FILMS HIS MOVES WITH AN IPAD AT THE STATION.

3 RD GRADERS TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THEIR LEARNING BY FILMING AND ASSESSING THEIR PARTNER AS MORE HEART HEALTHY FACTS WERE PROJECTED ON THE WALL.

2 ND 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.
