Stay Warm!!!

The eighth grade class started ballroom dance this week with Mrs. Garvey doing an excellent job introducing some framework steps to the students. So far, everyone has kept right up with the pace of all of the dances and seem to be enjoying every minute of it. This unit will take place for two more weeks and then we will finish up with the ballroom dance on December 21st.

Sixth and seventh grade students will start line dance and square dance next week. We are finishing up volleyball and bowling this week while continuing our fitness days with running and step aerobics.

Open Gym Night is this Friday, the 7th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Students can come and have some fun with their friends and families all while staying active. I hope to see many of you there! Stay warm and drive safe in this snow!

Bowling Trips and Dance Units

This week the seventh and eighth grade students went on their bowling field trips. Many of the students were able to apply the skills they learned over the past few weeks in class to help improve their scores when they stepped onto the lanes. Nice job to everyone who participated!

Next week we will be starting the ballroom dance unit for our 8th graders. This will be a three week unit that will teach students multiple dance steps and techniques that they can show off at the dance. Sixth grade will be starting square dancing at the end of next week and seventh grade will start line dancing.

Congratulations to the girls JV Basketball team who defeated Burr Ridge on Monday. Excellent teamwork and defense girls!

On a side note.......the Green Bay Packers are 10-1! They play Dallas tomorrow at 7:15pm in what may be a future NFC Championship game matchup. Go PACKERS!!!

Thanksgiving Holiday

This week is a short one for the students. Monday is a regular schedule followed by shortened periods on Tuesday due to the volleyball game and Lakeview Derby in the afternoon. Seventh and eighth grade students will test on the bowling and volleyball units the week we come back from Thanksgiving break. The bowling trip will also be that week: 8th grade on Wednesday, 11/28 and 7th grade on Thursday, 11/29.

Don't forget to watch the 9-1 Green Bay Packers take on the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving! Go Packers!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing holiday break!

Trimester One ~ Closure

Only one more week left in the trimester. Sixth grade students were tested on Monday and also changed units. The students are doing a wonderful job in this current volleyball unit and have already practiced passing and setting. The rest of this week will be spent on serving, hitting, scoring and game play.

Seventh and eighth grade students will continue bowling and playing volleyball. At the conclusion of next week before Thanksgiving break, the annual Staff volleyball game will be held. Also, new this year, the Lakeview Derby. It should be a ton of fun for everyone!

Congratulations to the JV Boys Basketball team on their win against Westmont yesterday!

Volleyball and Bowling

This week we are continuing with our volleyball and bowling units. Students have been doing a great job on the volleyball court while practicing their passing, setting, hitting and serving skills. We will start our volleyball games tomorrow and continue through the end of the unit.

Just a reminder.....if you didn't sign your child's permission slip for bowling, make sure you ask them for it. They are also posted online at the Lakeview website, under Physical Education.

The JV Basketball season kicked off yesterday with the girls home and the boys away against Cass. The next game is on Wednesday against Jefferson. Go Spartans!

November is here!

This week we started our volleyball and bowling units. Students were introduced to the units and given a study guide with all of the important information that they need to know before we start playing. The bowling FIELD TRIP will be at the end of November. Eighth grade students will go on November 28th and the seventh grade will go on November 29th.

Basketball tryouts were held last week and we now have our JV and Varsity basketball teams. I will be coaching girls intramural basketball this season and really hope to develop some of the necessary skills that will benefit everyone going into next year's season. We will have practice from 3-5pm everyday there is a home basketball game. The girls will be receiving a schedule by the end of this week.

How about those Green Bay Packers????!!!!! In a VERY exciting overtime game on Monday Night Football, Brett Favre yet again proved he is one of the best ever! On the very first play of the overtime period he threw an 82-yard bomb to Greg Jennings for the victory. Amazing!!! The Packers are now 6-1 going into Sunday at Kansas City.

Conclusion of Units

This week in P.E. we will be finishing up our flag football unit for 7th and 8th grade students with a cognitive test on Friday. Next week we will begin volleyball and bowling while continuing our fitness days.

Sixth grade students will also be finishing up the current units that they are in. We will all be testing tomorrow afternoon and then changing into three new units next week. Sixth grade students will either be in volleyball, bowling or weight lifting starting on Tuesday.
