    MAY 11, 2020

    We have seen some pretty awesome and creative dance routines from some students!  Great moves, song choices and sequence of moves in the routines!  We would love to see or read about the dance routines from more students. For this week, if you have not finished your dance please continue to work on it. Once you are done, you can email us the sequence of your dance moves along with the song choice, or you can email us a video of you performing the dance, whichever you feel more comfortable with.

    Those that have finished the dance routine activity, please feel free to choose your own daily physical activity this week!  Some helpful examples: walking, jogging, practicing throwing and catching, playing any type of sport, card fitness, and exercise videos!

    Monday 4/27/20- Friday 5/8/20

    **As a warm up you may continue to practice the Thriller dance or you may choose a physical activity of your own.  Some examples:  Going for a walk, jog, card fitness (rules further down on this page), playing catch, playing basketball/soccer/hockey, also exercise videos are posted on Ms. Goldberg's website if you want more ideas!**

    Watch the YouTube video link below of the Thriller dance and then practice the dance.  Feel free to have a parent/guardian or sibling(s) join in with you!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sKCIXrpdxg&t=99s

     **Put together a dance routine.  You may pick an appropriate song from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, or 00s.  Feel free to have a parent/guardian and/or sibling(s) join you in the fun!  I would like your routine to have at least 8 dance moves.  You may choose a dance move you have already learned or create new ones.  Put all your dance moves into a sequence so you have a full dance routine.  I understand this assignment may take time, within the next couple weeks I would love to see your finished routines!  I would love to see videos of your dances or if you rather e-mail me your dance sequence and routine and the song you chose, that is fine to.** Please don't hesitate to e-mail me with any questions at sflynn@shschools.com.  Remember to have fun with this!

     

     Monday April 13-Friday April 17

    Practice the two warm-up dances we have taught you, the Cotton Eye Joe and the Down South Shuffle

     Cotton Eye Joe:

    **Heel heel..toe toe..down up..down back..one two three clap..turn two three clap..then repeat on left side then repeat again.**

    Down South Shuffle:

    **Right right..one two three clap..left left..one two three clap..back back back back..march two three four..walk two three four..repeat

    If you feel like you have mastered these two warm up dances, start thinking ahead and work on dance moves you would like to incorporate in your own dance routine (an assignment in the near future).

    Also, if possible and safe to do so, try and go for a walk with a parent or guardian and get some fresh air and exercise!

    • CARD FITNESS:  Take a deck of cards, shuffle them up, flip the top card.  Complete exercises based on the suit and number on the card.  Face cards are worth 15.  Spades = jumping jacks, Clubs = squats, Hearts =  mountain climbers, Diamonds = your choice of exercise.

      

     5th and 6th Grade (Updated 4/1/20)

    • Throwing and Catching:  If you have space in your yard and it’s safe to go outside, try to practice throwing and catching with a family member with a ball or a frisbee.  Remember if you are throwing underhand you are front to target and stepping in opposition.  If you are throwing overhand you are side to target and stepping in opposition.  If you are throwing a frisbee you are side to target and stepping with the same foot, if you are right handed you are stepping with your right foot.  Try to keep your hand/wrist parallel to the ground and flick your wrist! 
    • READ A BOOK!
