8th grade - Ultimate Frisbee
We are in game play in our Ultimate Frisbee unit. The days have been hot and still, very good frisbee weather! We are playing a mini tournament and running for cardiovascular fitness on F days! The girls are really "getting" this game and understanding that it is a great way to get exercise and a fun way to work in some "running". Next, we will play Speedball for a couple of days, and then "socci" - after that we go to the pool for Water Polo!
7th Grade - Synchronized Swimming continues..
We are continuing with our swimming technique! We have learned and reviewed the following strokes:
Freestyle
Breast stroke
Back stroke
We have learned proper arm technique, kicking technique, breathing, and tips to be more efficient in the water. We are also working on endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
Now for the synchro part:
We have just started learning some basic stunts. We have introduced the "arms", ballet leg, collapsing clam, tub, and head up swimming to get in to new formations. The girls are doing great!!

Christmas Scavenger Hunt!
In honor of the holidays, we participated in a Christmas Digital Camera Scavenger Hunt. Everyone divides into groups and heads off across campus taking pictures with or at items on the list..for example, "take a picture with a Christmas tree"...It is a race and the students return to class with pictures, the list crossed off, and happy faces! Great fun!
Here is one student taking a picture "next to the stadium bleachers" (which she creatively wrote in the sand..we let them be creative!)
These students are "writing the word" "XMAS"!
