Here at Fairview, I don't teach the game of basketball, but we learn the skills of basketball. This week's skill was shooting. We ended class playing a shooting game called Shootout!!

6th grade this week continued their 5 levels of fitness unit. We went over the 2nd and 3rd component of fitness (muscular strength & muscular endurance). We defined it, talked about the benfits, and learned some examples of it. We then participated in a station course where we experienced what it feels like!!!
