OUR SPECIAL CLASSES IN SEPTEMBER
Tuesday: Tumblin’ Tots
Your child will learn the safety rules for tumbling:
- Never tumble without mommy, daddy, or your tumbling teacher.
- Always tumble on the floor, on something soft.
- NO TUMBLING ON OUR BEDS!
- Always stretch our muscles with warm up exercises before tumbling.
This month we have a lot to learn:
- Tuck – we will learn how to tuck (chin to chest) to help us safely role over!
- Beginning and ending of a stunt – Hands up! = Ta – Da!
- Tumbling – forward rolls, log rolls and butterfly sits/rocks.
- Exercise, exercise, and exercise – this word will become very familiar to your child. We will talk about the muscles in our bodies and how exercising can keep them strong and healthy!!
We will begin each class with some great music. This month, we will introduce your child to the NEW CD from Greg and Steve: Jump and Jammin’. It contains some very fun and upbeat songs! Parents, you may begin to see your child trying new things at home with their tumbling. Encourage them to only tumble while you are available to watch them safely. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ms. Lisa at (919) 969-1424 or via email at Tumblintots@att.net
Thank you for allowing us to share our love for fitness with your child!!

Animal Program: The Bugliest Bug – So… what is a bug? It really depends on whom you ask. This month we will meet a group of animals called arthropods. Most people would consider these bugs! The children will meet a variety of “bugs” and learn some really interesting facts about each one. Bring the family to “BugFest” at the NC Museum of Natural Science on Saturday, September 11th. Enjoy a family-friendly look at the world of bugs. It’s all FREE.
Book of the Month: This month our preschoolers will enjoy reading, Bein’ with You This Way by W. Nikola-Lisa. A little girl enjoys playing with her friends in the park. As they play, they discover that despite people’s physical differences – straight hair, curly hair, brown eyes, blue eyes, light skin, dark skin – we are all really the same.
