8th Graders,
Hope you had a nice 3 day weekend and were able to recharge. Here is a quick glance at our week:
Tuesday- Cooperative Activity
Wednesday- Pacer Run
Thursday- "Perfect Push-Up"
Friday- Fitness Testing
*Remember, stretch leaders will showcase their routines this week so be prepared
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We are continuing Cooperative Games and PE 101. PE 101 is primarily going to be done as written homework assignments. In fact, HW #4 which was just posted are 2 PE 101 assignments you need to complete for this Wednesday. HW #5, another PE 101 assignment is posted on on your HW page and will be due next Wednesday, 9/16. Cooperative activities are not only games but also team building activities like stretch leadership responsibilities, equipment leaders process, etc. Cooperative Games/PE 101 will end on 9/17. We start Strength Training after that in our weight room on 9/21. To see what all of your units are for the year, click here.
WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
On Wednesday, you will be running the PACER. I want to get a good baseline of where your fitness is and what types of improvement we are looking for. Give your best effort. The weather is predicted to be in the low 80's. Be sure you bring a water bottle to school and hydrate. My favorite color is Yellow. In case you were curious, I did the research last year and found that 80 pacer laps = mile, therefore, 20 laps = .25 miles. That should help when you come up with your goal. Please do your best. You will need to fill out your Pacer Graph, Quarter Run Log and e-Run Log. Descriptions of all my runs can be found at this link.
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
Our Fitness Activity this week is broken into two days. We will be doing the lesson called, "Perfect Push-up" to ensure that everybody knows how to perform a push-up with the correct form. Look at Page 10 in your Sportfolio Handouts ahead of time to get an idea on what you will be doing. Also, we will be watching this video in class when I explain how to do a proper push-up, check it out.
DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-LOGS?
If not, click here for your e-run log and here for your e-fitness log.
IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
Yes, HW #5 was posted. It is due Wednesday, 9/16 at Roll Call. That gives you 9 days to complete the assignment. To complete this assignment, you will will need to go to your 8th Grade HW page, click on the HW #5 assignment and read the steps. As you will read, you will need to post a Blog on a new 8th Grade Assignment Blog. Also, you need to go to your 8th Grade Page and print out your Strength Training Unit Materials and put behind Tab #3. These are due in your Sportfolio the Monday we start Strength Training.
ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
Yes, HW #4 is due on Wednesday at Roll Call. Also, I would like you to review Page 10 in your Sportfolio Handouts and watch this YouTube video.
