I am still on a mission to get more new mats into the elementary gym. I am continuing to apply for grants to do so. The gymnastics unit was more rich because of the mats, but also because of the added balance beam and wedge. These new pieces of equipment were a huge hit and only added to the fun and skills that I was able to teach. Thank you!\r\n I am starting a tennis unit in April.
