The reading selection for this week, Our Soccer League, is a photo essay by author and photographer Chuck Solomon.  Mr. Solomon uses close-up photographs to capture the action and excitement of a soccer game, as well as the emotions and expressions of the players.  We will discuss basic soccer plays and rules, and the role of teamwork and attitude as we read Our Soccer League in class.

Your child can review and practice vocabulary list words with the games I have linked below. Just click on the Java Games link in the Quia activities section and it will take you directly to the games choices page.  It may be helpful to print out the list of terms (vocabulary list words and definitions used in the games) from the games choices page so your child can refer to them as needed during practice.

Sports enthusiasts of any age will enjoy the enrichment/ background links I have included below in the Useful links section of the Class Page. You will also find some photography related links for adults and children.
Bonus Activity: Any child who uses one of the links below to find and print out a picture of the Wheeling Soccer Club patch will receive a treat for showing the printout to Mrs. Pellarin at school this week.
