Every Monday we go Cross Country Skiing at the park across the street from our school. Here's Harrison getting ready to get moving!
Jaia wears the smallest boots in the class, but she's a pretty fast skier!
Coach Kim comes to teach us how to ski each week. She's a really good skier and is showing us how to improve as skiers. Here she is showing Clara and Dave where to go.
Joxan was going too fast for his own good, so down on his rear end he went! Falling hurts sometimes, but the better we get, the less we fall.
Erika & Destiny get tangled up with their skies. It's easy to run into each other when we are all skiing in the same place.
Mahommed is showing off his incredible moves. But in a few seconds, he will fall.
Here's Coach Kim leading Kegan & Vianna to the other side of the park. Coach Katie is following right behind, she helps us with our skiing as well.
Abdirahman loves to show off on his skies as well. He's gotten pretty good at going fast, bumping into others and falling down.
Mr. Trumper is giving Joxan & Chue some advice on how to ski better, he is a great cross country skier himself.
Here's the whole class outside. You can see Mr. Lundquist is taking the photo. Destiny & Daynesha are pictured on the ground behind the group, they lost their balance and fell.
On your marks, get set, go! Emyla leads the group back to school as we took off for the warm school building.
Coach Kim always ends the skiing session with a talk about nutrition and how to stay fit and healthy. We are practicing each week for the rest of this month before we all go to ski in the Sons of Norway Minne-Loppet on January 31st in Uptown Minneapolis.

Joxan was the surprise for our class, we had no idea that he was such a great speller. When we held our classroom spelling bee, he wowed us all by spelling so many words correctly.
Daynesha was no surprise to be in the contest, she always does a great job each week in spelling. She's a great speller! I bet she's going to be in a few more spelling bee's over the next few years!
Clara as well is an incredible speller, she was the top 5th grader in our classroom for spelling, and did a great job in the school spelling bee. She is awesome at spelling, and will be in more spelling bee's as well.
