Today we had our iReady March Madness dodgeball tournament! The final 4 teams who passed the highest percentage of lessons by the end of the competition competed in a relay race to determine which one would face the staff in a dodgeball game. We also had students tape Mr. Raines to the wall and some got to throw dodgeballs at him. We also had a kahoot challenge for the students who passed the most lessons during our competition, and the winners played in the dodgeball game as well. We had so much fun celebrating our students and their passed lessons!! 🥳🤩 Have a great spring break, everybody!!!
