Gym/Health

The past two years I have really missed Gym class. It's the only class in the school day that is not academically rigorous and gives students a chance to cool down after a long day. I particularly missed the opportunity that Gym gave for us to physically play with my friends. Of the many activities we particpated in, Volleyball was my favorite activity because it was a team game even though I wasn't very good at it. Then in the last marking period, we participated in Project Adventure. At the beginning we mostly played trust building activities (my favorite was the one in which one person was blind folded and the other had to guide the other using verbal commands to pick and throw balls at others) but later on we moved to climbing. I learned some important life-skills in our climbing lessons such as tying knots, belaying, untying knots, and climbing. I feel like I learned a lot more from Gym class this year compared to previous years because of Project Adventure.
