6th Graders,

WEEK RECAP.....

You had officially completed your first 5 weeks of school, congratulations. This previous week was filled with nothing but Cooperative Activities with a little PE 101 sprinkled in. On Monday, we did our ball toss name game and team hula hoop challenge. On Tuesday, we had our first PE 101 lesson of the year, Sportsmanship Education. NOTE: IF YOU MISSED TUESDAY'S LESSON, YOU NEED TO COME AND SEE ME AT BRUNCH THIS WEEK. On Wednesday, you had a team run called the Variety Run. On Thursday, we did a Tag Game called VIP Tag. Friday, we did the SickFit 20 Station Rockwall Circuit.
