Real World Connection!

  • Pieces to reflect on learning and to solve problems



Hi Students!

As we talked about in class, my sister Miss Julia plays field hockey on her college team the Red Flash. They have had a difficult season so far. They have won two games and lost six games.


Last week we read about the athlete Lou Gehrig. We learned about how he was a valuable part of his team, displayed examples of sportsmanship, showed perseverance, and was modest. Using examples from the story we read, what advice would you give to Miss Julia to help her to keep working hard during her field hockey season? Write your advice in the comments below. Here is a picture of Miss Julia so you know who you're writing to:

    I think you should have more teamwork and perseverance. You also have a lot of sportsmanship. I think you can beat La Salle if you take my advice. Good luck Miss Julia!

  4. Dear Miss Julia,

    Some reasons why you should keep working hard is because even though you lost 6 games you can still work hard, show good sportsmanship and try your best. I think you are very good captain. I also think that if you show perseverance you can really win a game.

  5. Dear Miss Julia,
    You have to have good sportsmanship if you lose. It must be hard being captain and forward. La Salle is going to lose! Just focus a little more in practices. When you retire you should probably join another sport one day not like field hockey maybe tennis.

    Sincerely,
    Autumn

  10. Dear Miss Julia,
    You should work harder so you get more points. Another advice is to try to get the ball and shoot in the goal . You should get the ball and shoot it because your sister Lilli showed us your score and you only got to win two games . I hope you get a point and be a great captain . Have a good sportsmanship.
