2012 SportsKids of the Year

Here is a great story of two boys that won the title 2012 SportsKids of the Year.  I found it inspirational.

Contest ***January 25th Deadline***

For those of you who like to draw, Jump Rope for Heart is having a t-shirt design contest.  The shirt would be for the 2014 Jump Rope for Heart campaign.  I am accepting drawings to upload to the website (with parent permission). 

On the back of the picture put:

1. Your first and last name
2. Grade
3. Teacher's name
4. Signed by a parent

I also have a form that your parent can fill out to allow me to upload your drawing. 

Or you can do it yourself at home with a parent.  Click here for details.

Let me know if you need any help.

Volleyball Videos

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have finally figured out how to post videos from my phone.  There may be duplicates and the quality isn't that great, but we have video.  I tried to add one or two from each class and I hope I didn't forget any.  This iPhone 5 is really cool.  I can do so much with it (like relax on the couch while adding videos to a blog).

The videos are located at the bottom of the Volleyball Pictures tab on the top of the screen. Or you can view them by clicking here.

Watch video from Ms. Burlington's class

Volleyball Tournament

This week the 5th and 6th graders were able to begin the Volleyball Tournament.  They are scheduled to play the other two teams.  During tournament play, they will play two games to 15 points (they have to win by two points). 

Fifth grader, Katy, from team Spikers in Mrs. Oullette's class is focusing on her underhand serve.

The team rosters and tournament results will be posted on the Tournament Teams & Results page.  click here

I have a new phone and have been taking pictures and video during class.  Since the lighting isn't very bright in the gym, a lot of the pictures don't have the best quality.  I still posted most of the pictures and I am trying to figure out how to upload my videos.  Consider this to be continued...
