Is it Spring yet?

This was the first week that all students started playing actual pickleball games. Everyone has been doing an excellent job with controlling their shots and I have been very impressed with the communication that has taken place between teammates. As this unit progresses, each class will be recording their scores for each game they play. Then, during the last few days of class before spring break we will have a mini tournament that will pair up players of the same ability level.

Tomorrow in class (3/7), eighth grade students will be receiving their "Personal Fitness Program" worksheet. Every student will have to create their own fitness program that will include both cardiovascular and strength training workouts. This project will be due before Spring Break and should allow students to comprehend how to lead a healthy lifestyle outside of school.

ISAT testing begins next Monday and will be completed during the first three periods each day. Make sure that your child has enough sleep and eats a healthy breakfast before coming to school.

Congratulations to Brett Favre on the best 17 years ever as an NFL Quarterback. You will be missed!!
