Kindergarten Students Exercise in a Winter Wonderland
Kindergarten students at Unity Drive Pre-K/Kindergarten Center built strength, endurance, coordination and motor planning skills in a “Winter Wonderland” during gym classes. Students moved station-to-station riding sleds and toboggans, “ice skating,” “fishing” in a “frozen lake,” throwing “snowballs” and sliding down “Unity Hill.” Completing these activities helped encourage active learning at a young age. Students pulled their classmates in toboggans and sleds attached to scooters; used carpet squares to simulate ice skating; fished in a frozen lake using fishing rods, metal washers and magnets; threw white balls to simulate snowballs; and went for a sleigh ride down “Unity Hill” using scooters and snow disks.
