This week we are finishing up the dancing unit with a skill review test and a written test on Friday. Students in sixth and seventh grade will perform three square dances and will be assessed on how well they can follow cues from the music. All of the students have been doing an excellent job in class so I am expecting they will all do a great job on the tests.
The eighth grade students will take their written test on ballroom dance tomorrow during class. After 8th period tomorrow, students will be escorted down to the gym where the actual ballroom dance will take place. Today in class we reviewed all of the dances that will be performed and everyone looked wonderful. It should be a great time for everyone involved!
When we return from our winter break we will begin our rollerblading unit and then hopefully still have enough snow for cross country skiing.
I would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season and we will see you back in 2008!

Dance, Dance, Dance!
All three grade levels are currently in the dance unit. The eighth graders are doing an outstanding job in their ballroom dance classes! I can't wait to see them all show off their new dances at the ballroom dance on Friday the 21st.
Sixth and seventh graders started square dancing this week. Students seem to be picking up most of the steps quickly and we are moving right along with new steps. Today the sixth grade students learned a line dance called the Virginia Reel. It was a challenge at first but by the end of class almost everyone had the basic reel line down. We will continue to focus on dance until our holiday break on the 21st.
Congrats to the girls JV Basketball team who finished out their season last night against Gower. Nice work this season!
Go Packers (NFC North Division Champs)! They are 11-2 after beating Oakland last week 38-7! They play St. Louis this week. Go PACK GO!

Stay Warm!!!
The eighth grade class started ballroom dance this week with Mrs. Garvey doing an excellent job introducing some framework steps to the students. So far, everyone has kept right up with the pace of all of the dances and seem to be enjoying every minute of it. This unit will take place for two more weeks and then we will finish up with the ballroom dance on December 21st.
Sixth and seventh grade students will start line dance and square dance next week. We are finishing up volleyball and bowling this week while continuing our fitness days with running and step aerobics.
Open Gym Night is this Friday, the 7th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Students can come and have some fun with their friends and families all while staying active. I hope to see many of you there! Stay warm and drive safe in this snow!
