(2) So the PE combines physical activities and projects? tdilellio https://padlet.com/bramirez/LMA7thBTS/wish/712896333 1) Yes! Our goal is to incorporate the Tournament of Champions and participate in those tournaments to represent LMA. As of right now, there is no word regarding the schedule for those events due to COVID-19. When the time comes, we may have tryouts, depending on the interest level of the student body. 

2) Our goal as a PE department is to include as many sports/activities as possible within our program. Additionally, we do plan to incorporate projects that relate to the content we cover, in hopes to provide "real-world" authentic context.

A “2” means they logged into their class Zoom or Google Meet for synchronous/live instruction. A “3” means your student did not log in at all during class time.
