Hey Spartans
Trying to catch up on many important things, and my blog is at the top of the list!!
I hope everyone had a great Spring Break, Happy Easter holiday weekend, and starting to enjoy some consistent better weather! I hope that last phrase doesn't jinx us, as this type of balmy weather in early March was followed by 2 inches of snow!!! NOT A GOOD OMEN!!!
We have concluded our units on Table Tennis, Bags, and Pickleball, as well as Wiffleball in 6th grade. Our newest units now include Badminton, Soccer, and in 6th grade, Softball.
Last week, our 7th and 8th graders designed, practiced and performed their "Step" and "Jump Rope" routines during class. All students were graded on a number of points of emphasize and movement. MOST groups worked very hard, and did an outstanding job on performance day!! This week long unit totalled out to 25 points in the gradebook.
Our athletic teams have gotten off to OUTSTANDING starts. A "Tip-Of-The-Cap" goes out to Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wagner, Miss Nyhlen, and Coach Little for their efforts with their respective clubs!!!
On a final note, a total of 39 - 7th grade boys indicated an interest in Varsity basketball for the 2009-2010 season. I have begun an e-mail setup to communicate with these candidates as this year concludes, and we get into Summer vacation!!!
Have a great week, and...................
GO SPARTANS!!!!! PLAY HARD!!!!!! ..............AND GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!!
