In P.E. classes this week, seventh and eighth grade students have been practicing their golf skills and getting ready for their golf field trip. Yesterday we worked on stance, grip and swing, with everyone having the opportunity to practice an iron shot. Today we will focus on putting and accuracy, a very important aspect to the game of golf. For those seventh grade students that turned in their permission slips, we will be going to the driving range on Thursday during class. Each student should have enough time to hit about one bucket of golf balls. Eighth grade students will go on Friday and either golf the course or use the driving range/mini-golf course.
On Wednesday, there will be "mini-holes" set up outside where each student will keep track of his or her score and see how many strokes it takes to get the ball within the target area. The golf test will be on Thursday for eighth grade students and on Friday for the seventh grade.
Congratulations to JV and Varsity Volleyball on their victory over Burr Ridge last week. This week we have two home matches, Tuesday against Lisle and Thursday against Butler. Have a super week!

Open House
Last night was Lakeview's annual open house and I was very happy to see so many new and familiar faces! Every parent followed the schedule of their child throughout a regular school day and learned first hand what it is like to be a junior high student. In P.E., we discussed our units for the school year, fitness activities and the field trips we will be taking this year.
On the topic of field trips.....all permission slips for the golf and bowling trips are available online. If you go to the district website and click on Lakeview, then scroll down to the Physical Education link, you have access to these forms. Make sure your student returns both permission slips for golf and bowling. Seventh grade students will be golfing next Thursday, September 25th and eighth grade will go on Friday, September 26th.
The JV and Varsity Volleyball teams will travel to Burr Ridge tonight and look to earn their first victory of the season. Good luck to football who will take on Cass tonight at Lakeview!

Spartan Volleyball
The Spartan Volleyball teams have been practicing the past two weeks and preparing to take on Old Quarry in their first match of the season. Come on out and support the girls this Thursday the 11th at home in the new gym!
In Physical Education classes, Track and Field has been going very well! Students just completed their recorded times for the 50 and 100. Up next, we will be working on the 200 and 400. The goal for every student should be to try and improve their times each race, while working on the correct running form. In sixth grade, all three classes were introduced to our fitness days and each student received their heart rate strap. Please remind your child to write his/her name or initials on the strap and to keep it in their P.E. locker over the course of the school year.
Good luck to the football team as they travel to Gower today for their first game. Go Spartans!

First Units of the Year....
This week we started our Track and Field Unit for 7th and 8th grade students. Everyone received a study guide that listed all of the events we will be covering over the next three weeks. Each student is responsible for this information as it will be covered on the cognitive test at the end of the unit. Remember that all of our study guides are posted online in case you need to refresh your knowledge before the test!
In sixth grade we also started our first units of the year. Each student has one teacher for a two week period and then rotates to the next teacher. The first units will be track and field, football and field hockey. After the six weeks are up then we will all move into another section of three units.
All students should have turned in their signed form of the Physical Education policy here at Lakeview. Ask your students to see it if they haven't shown it to you yet!

Welcome Back!
Welcome back to Lakeview Junior High and another exciting year of P.E.! This week will be an introduction week for all of the sixth grade students. The first day of school we will be going over the general rules and expectations of our students in Physical Education class and discuss some of the units and field trips we will be taking. The course outline and syllabus is available online through our district website if you click on Physical Education. Sixth grade students will be assigned locks and lockers tomorrow during class and will have adequate time to practice opening and locking their lockers. Students should be ready to dress and participate on Thursday this week.
Seventh and eighth grade students will review the syllabus and should be ready with their uniforms on Wednesday. The units will change a bit from sixth to seventh grade so we will also discuss what different activities we will be participating in.
If your child is participating in any athletics throughout the school year, a physical form must be on file in the office before the tryout date. Best of luck to everyone this school year, it should be a great one!!
