Arrowhead Students Score on 'Super Friday'

Building upon excitement for the big game, Arrowhead Elementary School fourth-grade teachers put a football twist on their classroom lessons and coordinated an event they called “Super Friday.”

Dressed in team colors, the students and staff members arrived to school the Friday before the Super Bowl armed and ready to tackle an array of math, social studies and English Language Arts lessons. With the school day divided into quarters, the students engaged in different learning activities that incorporated either the game or the geographic locations associated with the sport during four main blocks of time.

For example, they matched the NFL teams with the cities they play for, completed a football themed spelling test, competed in a yard line math trivia game and performed original poems or raps.
