I hope everyone had a wonderful Winter Break and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Even though many of us wanted to have school on the Friday before break, we ended up having a snow day which meant that the 8th grade students had to miss their ballroom dance. We do have a new date rescheduled for the ballroom dance. It will be on Friday, January 23rd from 1:15-2:56pm. All parents are welcome to come and take pictures of their children showing off their new dance moves!
In P.E. class this week, all three grade levels have been rollerblading. I have been very impressed with each class as they seem to progress each day and learn new tricks. So far we have covered braking, changing levels, cross over steps, balancing on one foot, using only one wheel on the heel or toe and partner skating. Tomorrow in class, the seventh and eighth grade students will be using their heart rate monitors while rollerblading to see if they can keep their heart rate in the target zone for fifteen minutes.
On Friday, all three grade levels will take their brake test. Each student will be expected to come to a complete stop on their own without using the wall or a friend to lean on :). Good luck to everyone!
