4.  SPARK Physical Eduction Program Grades 3-6 – Chapters: Stunts and Tumbling.

Access to a gymnastics gym or equipment that you might have at your facility may vary and need to be adapted for gymnastic purposes (ie. benches, playground equipment, lines on the floor, boxes, mats, climbing ropes, etc.)

Your school may gradually acquire a balance beam, parallel bars/uneven bars combo, climbing rope, horizontal bar, foam Swedish box, jumping box, or short horse, hanging rings, tumbling mats and safety mats. Any parts or pieces of the listed equipment can be used to create a fun and challenging fitness unit.

Suggested Evaluation:

TSW will show increased confidence in attempting mastery and/or showing progress towards mastery of 80% the gymnastic movements and stunts presented to the class. Many of these stunts and activities do not require any special equipment. If equipment is necessary and not available, try to make modifications. Spotting should be conducted at all times. If there are no mats, an adult should be with the children and in some cases a hand should be on the student.

Tumbling: Mats can be purchased locally or from the Gopher or Flaghouse catalog

ASSESSMENT TOOLS AND RUBRICS ON FOLLOWING PAGES…………………….
Unit Assessment Tools:

--RUBRIC

·  To achieve mastery the student must have an ‘A’ or ‘B’ evaluation for each segment of the assessment rubric below.

·  A student is “not yet” if they have not shown mastery of all the areas.

·  There are two parts to the assessment of each unit: 1) an “evaluation guide” for evaluating TSW 1 and TSW 2 and 2) the “assessment rubric”

·  To receive an ‘A’ in a unit the student must have ‘A’s’ in four of the six areas in TSW 1 and TSW 2 on the assessment rubric and at least a ‘B’ in all the other TSW’s on the assessment rubric.

·  An ‘E’ (Exposure) can be given if a student shows diligent effort at achieving mastery but is unable to show mastery because of something out of their control (ie. physical challenges, sight challenges, poor attendance).

·
