One More Week of Hockey!

Hockey has been some of the students' favorite game in physical education.  A few weeks ago we started to learn how to dribble the puck and pass it to our partners.  Last week, we started playing games toward the end of the class and this week we will finish our hockey unit with more exciting games!  Below is a video of the fifth graders playing and more pictures are located on the "Heiskell Physical Education" page above.
