8th Graders,
This is it, our final week of the 1st Quarter. 3 more Quarters and you will be done with middle school. It has been a great 1st quarter. You have survived several homework assignments, some tough fitness days, interesting units and different types of runs. I hope 2nd quarter is as smooth.
Please get any and all written assignments in to me no later than Wednesday. I will not accept any work on Thursday or Friday of this week. Written work can include any late assignments, buy back assignments, make up assignments and/or extra credit. If you are not sure what you may be missing, please come see me at brunch on Monday or Tuesday.

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS
I plan to have my extra credit page on my website up and ready by the 2nd week of the quarter. Until then, these are the only extra credit assignments I am offering.
Extra Credit #1-Print out your BMI page from the website above = 5 points toward your PE 101 grade
Extra Credit #2-Make a Mixed Fitness Music CD = 10 points toward Fitness Grade.
Follow the requirements below:
*Every song has to be middle school appropriate-no swear words and no controversial
content.
*The CD has to have AT LEAST 20 songs
*Music has to be be up-tempo and up-beat (slow songs are not good for pumping people
up while working out). Use songs that you and classmates would have fun working out to.
*Make sure the songs are from different artists
Extra Credit #3- Weight Room Poster (10 points)
As you know, the weight room is officially opening to students to work out at lunch on
Tuesday and Thursday. It would be nice to see the weight room decorated with
"Motivational Posters" with some good words of wisdom on it. A good, but cheasy
example would be "No Pain, No Gain". YOU CAN'T USE THIS ONE. Anyway, you would
take the saying and make a good poster worth hanging in the weight room for all
to see. To get full credit, please follow the parameters below:
Parameters:
1. Use construction paper sizes 12"x18" or 18"x24", any color.
2. Find a motivational saying appropriate to strength training and/or fitness. I bet
a google search will produce a lot of results. I encourage you to even come up
with your own.
3. You can write/draw the the saying or print it out on the computer. Just make sure
it can be seen from pretty far away, you want people working out in the gym to
be able to see it.
4. Decorate the poster with images, colors, etc, but don't make it too distracting and
overly crowded.
5. Put your name, period and roll call on back of poster.
6. Include your sources on the back of the poster as well.
ANNOUNCEMENTS/REMINDERS-Download and print your Jump Rope Unit Materials-Check out your Homework Page and look at HW #8, due on Wednesday.-We start a new unit, Jump Roping, on Monday.
You do not have a Word of the Week.
