Gates students in grades 1st through 5th have been learning how to roller skate during their physical education classes. They have learned safety tips and skating skills for physical fitness and fun! Very soon, there will be a family skate night. Watch for it on the school calendar. Many students told us how happy they are to learn how to skate. The family skate nights help students stay in practice and enjoy a family event. Mrs. Pfund, our physical education teacher, plans months ahead to get enough skates for everyone who wants to learn skating.
Students learned how to stand up and sit down safely. In the right photo, they are learning how to stoop down. Once they have learned many of the skills, students advance to learning several dances on skates!
