Yarn Ball Toss
One of their favorites! Girls wanted to play the last game girls vs boys. The boys unanimously thought it would be fair to allow the girls basket to be a foot closer to them.

Many families have enjoyed this vacation hotspot for generations but did you know Wisconsin Dells was founded as Kilbourn City in 1857 by Byron Kilbourn? To make it easier for tourists to identify Kilbourn City with the natural landscape for which it was famous, the name of the city was changed to Wisconsin Dells in 1931. Over 4 million people visit each year!
Winter may have arrived a little early but we’re starting to simmer in PE class thanks now thanks to our new pedometers. Our intensity has been raised a notch as students are pushing themselves to earn as many steps as possible during their PE classes. After only our first week with them, our lower-school students were able to amass over 200,000 steps which translated into over 80 miles which put us is into the town of Janesville, Wisconsin!
Upper Elementary started playing Tchoukball, a handball-style game that is played by throwing a ball against an inclined tension net. It involves teamwork, throwing, catching and geometry.
(Below) Lower School students played a variety of activities including a modified version of Tchoukball, “Germ Tag”, Juggling scarves, “Turkeys and Farmers” and more.
We have officially introduced our new pedometers in PE class! These were purchased with the recent grant received last month and are excellent motivators for increased students’ intensity during PE. The students have really stepped up their game this week and are eager to know the results from our destination city vote for our upcoming Step Challenge!!! More news to come soon!
