Ballroom Dancing...

All 8th grade PE classes have completed their first week of ballroom dancing. We have 8 more days to practice before the big dance on Friday, December 16th. The dance will start at approximately 1pm. All parents are welcome to come and watch their child dance. Be sure to bring your camera too! :) Students have been learning how to do the rumba and swing up to this point in class. This week they will be introduced to the cha-cha and tango. Keep up the great work!

In 6th and 7th grade classes, students are still participating in volleyball, bowling and strength training (6th only). We will continue these units through the end of this week and then begin square dancing the last week before winter break.

Please be prepared for your cognitive test at the end of this week.

Have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is a quick week in PE classes. Both Monday and Tuesday will be spent bowling and playing volleyball. For our 8th grade classes, this will be the last week of each unit because we will be starting ballroom dancing on Monday the 28th. Mrs. Garvey will be teaching students 4 days a week for three weeks before the big ballroom dance on Friday, December 16th. The other day of the week, our 8th graders will be completing one fitness day and participating in volleyball games.

For our 7th and 8th grade classes, we will continue with the current units of volleyball, bowling and strength training (6th grade only), until the week before winter break when we begin square dancing.

Tomorrow, the varsity volleyball team will take on the faculty and 8th grade football team members in the annual student/staff volleyball game.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week!!!

Conclusion of units...

All three grade levels will conclude their current units this Friday. Please be prepared for the cognitive test over your current unit. Study guides are all available online through the Lakeview website.

The next two units we will be participating in are bowling and volleyball. Please make sure if you didn't turn in your bowling permission slip, you get those turned into your PE teacher before our field trips. Seventh grade classes will be going on Thursday, November 17th and eighth grade classes will go on Friday, November 18th.

Have a great week and I look forward to seeing many of you at the Fall sports banquet this Thursday the 3rd at 6:00pm.

Are you ready for some football???

This week in PE classes, the 7th and 8th grade students started playing flag football games. The girls started to focus in on running set plays that include both passing and running patterns. Each class learned how to run a reverse in order to gain yards, as well as short yardage passing plays. I have been impressed with how well the games have been going. Keep up the great work!

Sixth grade classes are still in their final rotation of the first 3 units. In field hockey, we have been playing games inside and working on teamwork and passing skills. I am hoping to get outside next week for some actual "field" games. Please make sure that you bring warmer clothes as the temperature is going to be in the mid to upper 50's next week.

The Fall Sports banquet will be held on Thursday, November 3rd at 6pm. All FALL SPORT ATHLETES should have received a banquet form if you will be eating dinner with us. Please return these forms by November 1st.

Have a great weekend!
