YouTube Video

A sixth grader, Chloe, suggested that I take a look at this YouTube video of a nine year old girl playing football.  I was impressed by this young girl's determination.  She was able to run fast and refused to be tackled.

Football & Stations


Our warm-up on the day of stations was relay team spelling.  Each team had a small white board and they were asked to finish my sentence with the correct spelling of the word.  The first person in line raced down to the white board and wrote the first letter, then the second person, and so on.  The words they had to spell correctly were there, their, and they're.  We finished the face with a bonus of choose the correct word from "to, too, or two".  As you can see from the pictures below they were so fast I couldn't even get a good picture.



I think these are Nancy's fast feet.
