Disc Golf with Zola's Class

Flying Discs

The students are ending the year with learning about flying discs (Frisbees). They will learn about the history of the flying disc and where the name Frisbee came from. They will also see a variety of ways to throw the discs. The classes will then focus on learning about the backhand throw. This is when they hold the disc with three fingers on the bottom of the disc, their index finger running along the side, and their thumb clamping down on top. They then hold the frisbee level with the ground at elbow height. Now they turn their bodies sideways towards the target, so their throwing hand is closer to the target. The disc starts touching the opposite elbow, then moves straight across their body towards the target. The thrower stops their hand releasing the disc with their index pointing at their target.

Tabletop Bowling

I would like to thank Tyler Turcotte and Jon Powell for the wonderful gift I received yesterday. These two young men are students at GHS and are currently enrolled in a woodworking class. They were presented with a project that needed to be made from wood and donated to a local organization. Tyler and Jon paired up to make a tabletop bowling alley with pins. This project is completely made of wood and has retractible legs for easy storage, and hand carved pins using the lathe. I am very excited about having a new activity to use in the classroom when the gym is being used by another group. This will be a sure hit with our students. Thank you again!
