I can't believe the last week of the school year is already here! This week is very special for our 8th grade students as they all take time to look back and reflect with friends on their three years here at Lakeview. Today the 8th grade class went on their Odyssey boat trip downtown to Navy Pier. I am hoping that the weather cooperates and all of the rain holds off until tonight.
Tuesday and Wednesday the 8th grade students will have their final graduation practices and then Wednesday evening they will all officially be Lakeview alumni! The class of 2009 has been outstanding and I am very happy to have had the opportunity to teach all of the 8th graders this school year. Good luck to each of you as you enter high school next year! I know that you will be very successful in everything you do.
The 6th and 7th grade students will participate in their grade level activities on Thursday during the day and then Friday is officially the last day of the school year. I look forward to seeing some of you during summer school this June for the volleyball clinics that I will be teaching.
I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing summer break and I will see you in the Fall!

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!!!

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!

Spring Units...
This past week we finished up our pickleball and ping pong/bags units with all three grade levels. Students were tested yesterday over the units and will now be moving onto badminton and soccer. I am hoping that the weather begins to act more like it is Spring instead of Winter or we will be playing a lot of indoor line soccer this year!
Just a reminder, if you have P.E. early in the day please be prepared to go outside. All students should have an extra pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt that they can keep in their hall locker for the cooler days when we are outside playing soccer.
The softball team has had four practices now and I am definitely seeing a large improvement from last season. We have many returning players, as well as some new faces that will bring a lot of enthusiasm to our team. The first game in on Tuesday, away at Old Quarry. Go Spartans!!!
