If you know me, or have read the About Mrs. Wolff page, you know that my favorite season is Summer (although Winter is becoming a second favorite)! The end of the school year always brings a mix of emotions for me. As a mom, I love spending time with my daughters and we all LOVE summer! Summer days always include an adventure each sunrise so at the end of the school year I am riddled with excitement and anticipation of the memories we create as a family! I also feel a great sense of sadness at the end of the school year, however. My students (all 230+ of them) are not just "kids I teach," each child enters my heart, snatches up a piece and becomes a part of my school family. Knowing there are many kids I may not see again, my heart ache's, and sadness lingers knowing my 6th graders will move out from under my Elementary PE wing to Middle School. Others I will simply just miss during our (too) short break during (my favorite season) summer! Parents, thank you for sending your child(ren) to Liberty Christian School and for sharing them with me this year. May this summer provide you with great rest, safe adventures and many memories!! Love the Son-shine, Mrs.Wolff Middle School Leaders SHINE at Field Day!!! This is the third year that I’ve coordinated and planned field day. What transpired on the field this year was absolutely one of the highlights of my year and the Middle School students team leaders played an enormous role! I will be candid and share that I was originally nervous about having the Middle School kids serve as the leadership role for teams; we have always had High School students lead in the past. As the event drew closer, I kept hearing, “Give them a chance to shine.” Did they ever!! The Middle School students were truly some of the BEST field day leaders we have ever had! I’ve never seen leaders so engaged with the kids, leading by example, cheering them on, literally running alongside of them! Unity was the word that comes to mind when I think of that day. Unity in ONE goal “spirit”. The kind of spirit that we are called to have as we walk this amazing journey with our creator! The Middle School students fostered such an amazing heart and attitude with the students, I am humbled by the distance that they were shining! ...leading by example... in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, Titus 2:7
Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not
turn from it. Proverbs 22:6 And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1
In 2002 the National Archery in the Schools Program launched in 21 schools in Kentucky. Since that time it has grown substantially. The NASP has taught target archery to more than 10 million students in 47 states and continues to grow. There are 120 Washington State Schools implementing this program. The program is not only safe (there is currently a zero accident record since the beginning of the program in 2002) but effective at improving student motivation, attention, behavior, attendance and focus. Archery instructors have to be certified through the NASP program and early in March I will be obtaining that certification (as will several other LCS staff). LCS Elementary PE plans on teaching one Archery Unit this 2014-2015 year to one class so that we can become familiar with the program and iron out any kinks we find and formally launch the program in the 2015-2016 school year (this is subject to change based on our findings from teaching the first class; Archery could be offered to all eligible grades during this school year). Per NASP guidelines, the Archery program will be offered to Elementary PE students in 4th - 6th grades during their regularly scheduled PE class. It will also be offered to LCS Middle School students as an exploratory class. For more information on the program visit the NASP website or our LCS Archery page. February PE RecapThe students worked really hard during their Balance Unit so I started off February with a "Student's Choice" week. From there we moved into our "Time 2 Strike" unit where our first week we focused on using a long handled racket by learning about Badminton. From K5-6th grade, the students learned all about this sport and showed incredible improvement from day 1 to day 2.
