Lamar is a pre-kindergarten thru 4th grade elementary school. It is located about 30 miles from Houston, Texas. We go to school from 8:00-3:00 every day studying the basic math, English, Social Studies, Language, Art, Music, Spelling, Computers, Physical Education suibjects. We also learn Spanish as a second language and have many bi-lingual students hereto help us.Our Physical Education area is nothing compared to some of the other areas I have been reading about! We do have a "track" we have made over the years by running over and over the same area! We have a black top that we use when the grass is damp or so wet we can't get on it! All in all we do the best we can with what we have! I love the students here at Lamar. They make my teaching well worth the problems we deal with.
DESCRIPTION OF YOUR COMMUNITY:
We live near the city of Houston so we can
draw on all the interesting civic associations connected with a big city.
Houston is the home of the Rockets basketball team, the Astros baseball
team, the Areos ice hockey team. The Woodlands hosts the Shell Houston
Open which is a famous golf tournament. The tournament is going on right
now so we are excited about that.We also have the Cynthia Woods Pavikion
here in the Woodlands that hosts many famous singers and dancers. Many of
our residents are professional athletes. We have invited many of them to
speak to us and give demonstrations about their sports.
DESCRIPTION OF SPORTS:
We try to do a large variety of sports including
golf, volleyball, basketball, flag football, in-line skating, tinikling,
bicycle rodeo, tennis, ETC, ETC.
Good luck to every one who is participating. This is our 3rd year and we have enjoyed every one of them! Thanks for doing this.
