Christmas Program
Besides doing the basic warm ups and stretching, the students also did pushups and sit ups to be ready for certain dance moves. They also learned to do cartwheels, the splits, and handstands. They worked in small groups and as a large group to learn various dance routines. For the Christmas program the song they danced to was Incredible. Other groups also danced to Joyful, Joyful, and Holy Visitation. They used both the big and little flags in their performances. It was powerful.

Put It Like That
The students always started out on isolations, to warm up every part of their body. Then they worked on the basic dance steps for the songs that they were going to be dancing to. For the Christmas program the song the students danced to was Put It Like That. The students had a great time.

He Reigns
The students in 3rd-5th grade Dance Elective only had 30 minutes each rehearsal to practice their steps to the song they danced to for the Christmas program. They worked on sign language and dance steps, and then worked on how to move the flags and streamers and then put it all together. The song the students danced to was, He Reigns.

Volleyball
Students learned how to bump, set and serve in volleyball. We ran drills until everyone knew how to bump the volleyball and also how to serve the ball and get it over the net. Then we had fun playing a volleyball game against each other.

Baseball
Students had a great time learning how to play baseball. First they learned how to hold a bat and how to stand. Then they learned the basics of how to hit the ball with the bat and last they ran the bases.

Great Season
If you really want to test your abilities and see what you are capable of, track is the place for you. Tired, what are you tired from? This is the easy part, it’s only tryouts. Wait till you actually make the team. These athletes pushed their selves and their bodies to the limit every practice. They never said that they were tired or couldn’t do it, they dug down deep and willed themselves to finish. Each practice they strove to do better than the day before & to their credit they succeeded. I am so proud of you all. Great Season.

Powerpoint Presentations
10th grade prepared for the Regents by refreshing their memory on everything from the Neolithic Revolution to the Cold War. Students made Powerpoint presentations on the various themes of history such as nationalism and imperialism, golden ages and revolutions. By teaching each other, students learned their own topic more thoroughly while other students benefitted from their knowledge.
