Our experience with Double Dutch
Our story in Week 4 (September 10-14) was called Double Dutch. We all thought Double Dutch looked fun and hard. Mrs. Holwick wanted us to try it. So, in gym we got try Double Dutch and sometimes we do it at recess. It was very hard and none of us were very good at it at first. The teachers decided they were going to practice and show us that you can accomplish anything with enough hard work! Even though we are not great at double dutch, we are all getting better! Here is a summary of the story and then you will read interviews from Mr. Schroeder, Mr. McGinnis, Ms. Addison and Mrs. Holwick. I hope you enjoy!
This story is about a champion Double Dutch Team. They don’t recite songs. They all have to remember their routine and they all have to move in unison. Their Coach is Coach Rockett. He started the team by looking out his classroom window and saw 3 girls Double Dutching. Now, here are the interviews.
