Since our theme for the school year is "Teamwork," we call ourselves TEAM NEWINGHAM. For this reason, we chose to plan our spring open house around the same theme by presenting Team Newingham SportsCenter, our version of the popular sports news show on ESPN. We showed four of the movies we had made throughout the school year at different times during the evening. The students acted as SportsCenter reporters and news anchors to introduce each movie to the audience in our classroom.

We decorated our classroom with all
things related to sports. We created our own jerseys that we hung in
the "rafters", made a football field for movie viewing, and constructed a
SportsCenter set for the news anchors.

Since we showed four of our class
movies, we had a different SportsCenter News Crew introduce each program.
Each crew consisted of two anchors, an "on-field" reporter, a player being
interviewed, and a camera operator. Click here to see all 4 Team Newingham SportsCenter Crews!

Before the open house, students
decorated tickets for each show and brought them home to give to their
parents the day before the open house. Parents then brought the
tickets to the shows on the night of the open house and entered the stubs
of their tickets into four different drawings for a framed copy of an
autographed Team Newingham photo. Students conducted a drawing after
each edition of Team Newingham SportsCenter.

In the hallway, we had a schedule of
our SportsCenter broadcasts with the times that they would be taking place
in our classroom. Students also created their own headlines and
captions for Sports Illustrated magazine covers and wrote their own
biography poems.
