This past week in P.E. class we started our softball and floor hockey units for the 7th and 8th grade classes. After this week, we will be starting our softball tournament where each team comes up with their own name and we tally up all of the wins and losses for the entire grade level to see who ends up with the best record for 7th and 8th grade.

Today in class we are running the mile for the second time in the Spring. The goal for each student is to stay within 30 seconds of their original time to receive the full credit for the run.

The sixth grade classes will be switching to their final units of the year tomorrow in class. Mr. Dvorak's class will be playing soccer, Mr. Dodd's class will be in badminton and Ms. Nyhlen's class will be playing softball.

Let's finish up this school year strong!!!

Final Units....

Coming up next week in P.E. class we will be testing in badminton and soccer on Tuesday and then moving into our final two units of the year with floor hockey and softball. Both the 7th and 8th grade students have done an outstanding job for the past three weeks in badminton. Congrats to Ryan K., Alvin W., Danielle C. and Stephanie H. on defeating me in our doubles badminton games! I definitely see some future talent for the DGS team!

In sixth grade, we are in our second section of units. Students are either participating in softball, soccer or badminton. The sixth grade students will finish out the school year with these units.

The softball team has one final home game left on Wednesday, May 13th against Jefferson. Come on out and support your Spartans as they try to end their regular season games with a victory! On Saturday, May 16th the Spartans will travel to the Lemont Park District for the Conference Tournament.

Fitness Testing

This past week in P.E. class we continued with our badminton and soccer units for 7th and 8th grade students. Yesterday in badminton we started our doubles tournament for each class period which we will finish up next week. If we have time at the end of the unit we will play a singles tournament.

On Tuesday (May 5th), next week all three grade levels will be participating in the timed mile run. Each student completed this run in the Fall and their time was recorded on a fitness sheet. For the Spring mile, each student should have the goal of improving their time by at least 10-15 seconds.

In 7th and 8th grade we will also be starting our fitness testing next week. Each student will receive a copy of their scores from the Fall so that they can compare them to their Spring scores and hopefully see a positive improvement.

The softball team is currently 2-1 with five more games to play this season. Next week we will be playing four games in a row so come on out and support your Spartans! Below is our remaining schedule for the season:

Monday, May 4th LV @ Westmont
Tuesday, May 5th LV @ Old Quarry
Wednesday, May 6th Westview @ LV
Thursday, May 7th Eisenhower @ LV

Wednesday, May 13th Jefferson @ LV

Saturday, May 16th Softball Tournament @ Lemont Park District (Times T.B.A.)

Have a great weekend!!!
