New Units...

This week in PE classes all three grade levels began new units. In 7th and 8th grade, students are now participating in the pickleball and ping pong/baggo units. Classes started with study guide reviews and basic skills and will begin game play at the end of this week.

In our sixth grade classes, students just started pickleball, ping pong and whiffleball. All classes will be rotating on a two week schedule between the units. In sixth grade, we focus on learning the basic rules and skills of each game.

Have a great week!

This Monday and Tuesday will be our annual Pack the Place basketball games. On Monday, the varsity girls will take on Westview at 4pm. Tuesday will feature our varsity boys taking on Gower. Everyone is encouraged to attend and participate in the pre-game activities that will be taking place in Gym 1. It is a great time and I hope to see you all there!

In PE classes this week, 7th and 8th grade students are finishing up their strength training and basketball units. We will be testing at the end of this week so please be prepared for your cognitive tests.

Sixth grade students just moved into their final unit rotation of floor hockey, basketball and stregnth training. We will finish up all of these units by Friday with a written test.

Have a fabulous week and GO SPARTANS!!!

New Unit Rotation in 6th Grade...

This week we changed our units in 6th grade PE classes. Nyhlen's class is now with Mr. Dodd in basketball, Mr. Dodd's class is with Mr. Dvorak in strength training and Mr. Dvorak's class is with Ms. Nyhlen in floor hockey. Students in floor hockey worked on the basics of passing and accuracy with their teammates and started playing half court games on Friday. Excellent play so far by all students and I look forward to watching some competitive games next week.

In 7th and 8th grade, students are still alternating between basketball and strength training. The girls have done a wonderful job in the strength training unit and continue to see self-improvements in the amount of sets and reps that they can do. Keep up the great work girls!

Have a great weekend everyone and be sure to watch what should be a very good Super Bowl this Sunday.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Claudia F. in 8th grade and Megan U. in 7th grade for winning the bench press competition this year for the girls. Claudia recorded a score of 60 reps at 40lbs. and Megan completed a total of 53 reps at 40lbs.

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.

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.
