This week in class we will continue with our basketball and weight lifting units for seventh and eighth grade students. In basketball we have been working on our ball control skills, passing, dribbling and shooting. At the end of this week, we will make teams and then start playing games on Tuesday.

Sixth grade students in floor hockey have been doing a great job on setting up offensive plays. We will continue to work on communication and teamwork each day we play and will conclude the unit with our cognitive test. Students all received a study guide so they should be aware of what the test will cover.

Unfortunately, this Sunday the Packers fell short on their bid for a Super Bowl Championship. It was a tight game every minute, but the Packers couldn't capitalize on the important plays when it came down to it. The New York Giants beat them 23-20 in overtime and will now face the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Hopefully Brett Favre will be back for one more season!
