Dear Parent or Gaurdian,
Your student is going to be participating in a Circus Arts unit. This will consist of juggling and unicycling. The students will learn eye-hand coordination, balance and patients as they learn how to juggle different objects and ride a unicycle.
The student will be responsible for learning how to juggle scarves, beanbags, tennis balls and do a few tricks using different objects. Practicing will help their improvement imensely. They will need to be able to juggle the scarves, beanbags and tennis balls all at least 50 times. They will also have to perform two different types of tricks. This could be with bowling pins or different objects being juggled for a certain amount of time. Depending on the objects, will depend on the amount of times required.
They will also learn the safety of riding a unicylce. There will be no one riding without spotters (Which they will all know (Spoting) and practice correctly). They will also learn the body postion, how to get on and off, and how to peddle on the unicycle.
The students will have a high participation grade on this unit so it is important that your student shows up regularly.
