This week in P.E. classes, we started out new units of badminton and soccer. Due to the weather outside, soccer has been working on their skills inside while badminton has just started to get underway with practice in serving and volleying. Our sixth grade students started fitness testing for the Spring on Monday in class. Each student should be able to compare their scores that they earned in the Fall and hopefully see a positive improvement in their efforts.

Last week, all the seventh and eighth grade students performed their jump rope and step routines. I was very impressed with the effort of each group! Overall, each step aerobics performance was evaluated on a 25 point rubric that included: fulfilling the 2 minute time requirement, using 3 sides of the step, facing 3 walls, incorporating eight or more moves and pairing all of those categories together with synchronization and rhythm.

The Lakeview Softball team has only played one game so far this season, however, it was a great game and the first win for the Spartans! Our game that was rained out against Old Quarry on the 14th was rescheduled for today (the 21st), however, with this weather forecast it may have to be postponed again. I will keep game updates here on my blog for the remainder of the season. Have a great week!
