2009!!

Man, the first half of this year has flown by! I can't believe 2008 is almost over. We were able to get some pretty cool stuff squeezed into the first half of this year, but just wait...we have a ton more to do in 2009. Here is what we are looking at when we get back from the break!

-Jump Rope
-Gymnastics
-Dance
-Volleyball (my personal favorite!)

We even have a little surprise instructor who is going to help us out for part of our dance unit! I can't tell you who it is, but I can say- we are glad to have her back...even if it is just for a week!!

Mrs. Georges and I hope you all have a pleasant and relaxing break! See you all in 2009!

Getting Ready for the Break

Basketball has been going awesome! We are getting ready to take a couple weeks off for the Holiday break. So, we ill be slowing things down a little- a little less skill work and a little more games!

I am very impressed with how well ALL of the grades did with our Basketball unit. The really awesome part is we had a guest speaker come in and talk to the entire school this past Wednesday- he used basketball to get his point across! Now, I would like to say that I planned it all out, but...i can't. It was just a really cool coincidence. His performance was called "Totally Courageous Basketball." He talked about setting goals and practicing to reach your goals!

Here is a picture of what he does:


The kids had a great time!

Hope everyone has a great break!
