As US hoopsl fans know, the national basketball championship has come down to one game. So here at NNB, we’re rooting for the Boston Celtics to beat the Los Angeles

Lakers tonight.

In the meantime, the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield offers teachers “The Fastbreak Curriculum”:

…(A) handbook for teachers of all grades, K – 12. It-provides learning opportunities for students in core subject areas, including Science, Math, Social Studies, Language Arts, Physical Education and Art. Basketball serves as a focal point for a variety of activities to help students better observe, interpret, evaluate and developing reflective and critical thinking. The Fastbreak Curriculum is available to teachers who are in the process of planning their field trip to the Basketball Hall of Fame. For more information or to schedule a presentation of the Fastbreak program, please contact (413)231-5513.

Or, you can get the lesson plans on the NCAA website.
