8th Grade:  Something to think about....
A) Field Day.....  write up your morning game as if we would be back at school.
                         Details:  1.  What skills do the participants learn while playing your game?
                                        2.  What equipment do I need to play the game
                                        3.  How do we play the game.  This is a detailed description on how to play the game including points, do you need to modify the game for the different age ranges.  The more details the better.
                                       4.  A sketch of the poster advertising your game
B). Virtual Field Day....  how do we create a virtual challenge in the case that we are not back at St. Therese for field day
