Rain Rain Go Away!

This week in 7th and 8th grade P.E. classes, we have been focusing on our fitness skills as well as making up any missed fitness days. With all of the rain we have been receiving, it is very difficult to go outside for our track and field unit. On Thursday and Friday this week we should be able to get outside and finish up relays and the long jump/shot put. We will also be testing on our track and field unit at the conclusion of our activities.

The 6th grade classes have all completed their first units of the school year and made it through the first cognitive test. Many of the students did an excellent job on their first test and I'm sure will continue the great work on the next set of units. Students are currently participating in either field hockey, flag football or strength training.

The Spartan volleyball teams will play @ Cass this Thursday at 4pm. Go SPARTANS!!!!

Golf and 6th Grade Units....

This week in PE class all 7th and 8th grade students are participating in the golf unit. Students have been working on putting, iron shots and swing technique. On Thursday this week, the 7th grade students will be going on their field trip to Zigfield Troy golf course to practice at the driving range. It is a quick trip, but students gain practice participating at a real driving range. On Friday, all 8th grade students will be going on their field trip. Those students who play golf outside of school will be able to golf the course with a foursome of other 8th grade students. The remaining students will split their time between the driving range and mini golf course. All persmission slips are due on Wednesday the 21st.

Sixth grade students are still participating in their first units of the year: field hockey, strength training or flag football. We will be finishing up these units on Friday and having our cognitive test as well. Be sure to review your study guides before your test!

The volleyball teams play today, Tuesday the 20th at Lakeview and Thursday the 22nd at Westmont. Go Spartans!

Track and Field...

This week in PE classes for 7th and 8th grade students we will continue with our track and field unit. Each day, students alternate between track events and field events. Students will participate in track events that include the 50, 100, 200 and 400 yd. dashes as well as relay events of 400 and 800 yards. For field events, students are currently working on the high jump and will move on to shot put and long jump next.

Sixth grade students are continuing their current units of either field hockey, flag football or strength training.

I hope to see many of you tonight at the Lakeview Open House starting at 6:45pm. You will be able to follow the schedule that your child follows during the day and learn a little more detail about each class.

Congratulations to the Varsity and JV Volleyball teams on their victories over Eisenhower last Wednesday. This week we host Westview on Tuesday and travel to Lisle on Wednesday. GO SPARTANS!

Have a great week!
