Happy Hoops in the New Year!

Happy New Year to all! We are starting off the new year with a movement unit called "Happy Hoops." Hoops aren't just for hula hooping anymore. Children can learn about the movement concepts of over, under, around and through with hoops, they can help in developing hand-eye and general coordination by spinning and rolling them and the hoops can also be used as targets to develop more accuracy when throwing or kicking. They are also a lot of fun and provide enjoyable and creative opportunities for healthy movement!
