Getting going in Movement 3!

To be honest I got a late start on the quarter due to the national AAHPERD conference in Tampa Bay, Florida! But, I got back to ellensburg and back to being a student. The 1st day of movement 3 for me was at Ellensburg High School where we participated in the challenge course. I felt really excited and nervous for the day but I knew were were in good hands with Dr. Kirk Mathias, Mrs. Leanne Semprimoznik, and Mr. Brian Hagbo who teaches at Ellensburg High School. The challenges were based on teamwork and strategy. My favorite part was when a group of 12 of us were behind a line and stood about 10 feet away from a hanging rope which was about 10 feet away from a wooden platform that was probably 4 feet by 4 feet. The goal was to get all of us on to that wooden platform some how some way knowing that no one or no thing could touch the floor and we had to hold all of us on there for 10 seconds! We stepped back and we talked about as a group and decided to tie our shoes together to use to get the rope over to us. i had the challenge of using the shoes to hook the rope and get it back to us which was actually really fun! In our 1st try we got 2 people over but i went and dropped the ball when I swung across i gained to much momentum and knocked one of our group members off the platform(My Bad!) alright second try! i hooked the rope back over just fine but i went 1st this round and went over just fine and got my right foot on the platform but couldn't get my left foot out of the loop and couldn't stay on the platform ( My Bad again!) alright well 3rd times the charm right! I once again hooked the rope back over to us and went 1st again but this time I just lifted my feet high and kept it out of the loop. That opened it up to the rest of the group and we just started swinging over and were standing there with 6 people on the platform thinking that there is no way we can fit double the amount of people we had on there already! But we just kept swinging over and next thing ya know we had 12 over and on the platform as i had a death grip on 2 people on each side of me! we held that for 10 seconds! what relief! .....next up unicycling and circus arts?
