8th grade: Hip Hop Dance!

Hip Hop dance was a success! We learned a few dances, practiced and performed for each other. We took our time learning the steps, practicing, and gaining confidence exercising in a different way. Thank you to Ms. Maile for coming and sharing her expertise with us!

6th grade: Pickleball!

We had a wonderful Pickleball unit! It was fun to learn the basic rules (even that it is named after the inventors dog who was named "Pickles") as well as fun games such as River, Queen of the Court, and doubles. We had a fun time learning and playing Pickleball!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We had a great day in both grades participating in our Annual Halloween Fun Run! We followed directions running around the track, up the bleachers, performing sit ups and push ups...and had fun with our classmates at the same time! I love Halloween as it "kicks off" the holiday season and am looking forward to fun times ahead! *We were SO LUCKY to have two of our classroom teachers come and participate in our Halloween Run...THANK YOU Ms. Eisold and Mr. Koshiba - the girls loved it and commented on how "fit they are"! Great role models and so fun to have them visit! Happy Halloween!

Up next...Pickleball (6th grade) and Hip Hop dance (8th grade)

8th grade: Football wrapping up!

The 8th grade girls have completed their flag football unit. We learned the football skills, played small games, played "4 downs", did football stations, and played a "real" football game! We ended the unit with a fun game of Capture the Critter! UP NEXT: HIP HOP DANCE AND WEIGHT ROOM!

6th grade; Zumba ends and Football begins!

We ended our Zumba unit with performances of the various routines. The girls did a great job and even volunteered to perform when they didn't have to - it was a fun celebration of Zumba! I am so proud of all the girls for taking risks, giving their best effort, and having fun - every day!
