This week in PE class we started 5 on 5 games in basketball. Everyone is doing an excellet job and giving great effort each day. We will continue games into next week during our basketball days. During strength training we started the bench press competition and will continue that into next week. Each student completes as many reps as possible with 40lbs. All of the girls are doing a great job in this unit.

In sixth grade classes, we just finished up our final rotation of units from before winter break. Starting next week, Nyhlen will be playing floor hockey, Dodd will begin basketball and Dvorak will start strength training. . Keep up the great work 6th graders!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Winter is here!

Welcome to the real Illinois winter everyone! With our first true snowfall of the year, it really feels like winter now. I hope everyone is safe but has fun and takes advantage of the activities that snowfall can bring. Skiing, snowboarding, sledding, building snowmen, etc.

In PE classes, we will continue with the same units of basketball and strength training going into next week. We will begin 5 vs 5 games in basketball and will also begin the bench press competition in our strength training unit.

Sixth grade classes will be testing at the beginning of next week and then rotate into their next set of units.

Have a great long weekend everyone!

Welcome Back!!!

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope that you all had a very relaxing winter break with friends and family. I am very excited to get back into the swing of things here at Lakeview.

This week in our 7th and 8th grade PE classes we will be starting new units. Starting Tuesday, we will begin our strength training and basketball units. The classes will be separated between girls and boys and will rotate each day between the two units.

Our 6th grade students are finishing up their final units of our 3 week rotation from before winter break. The last group of classes will participate in volleyball, bowling and strength training.

Have a wonderful week!!!
