School Site: Cleveland Elementary Date: 2/15/2016 Activity Observed: Balance and Flexibility Unit Grade/Age Level: 2nd

The document describes observations of a 2nd grade balance and flexibility unit. It notes the differences between higher and lower skilled students in performing various static, dynamic, and stretching balance tasks. Higher skilled students were able to balance well in different positions without losing control, complete all tasks, and learn motions quickly. Lower skilled students had more difficulty balancing, especially while moving, could not complete all tasks, and took longer to learn motions. The observer spent 1 hour at the school site observing the activity under the instruction of teacher Brandi Hillmon.
