8th Graders,
Congratulations, you made it through the 1st Quarter of your last year of middle school. How sad....Anyway, it is important that you please check your grades. I will have most of them updated this weekend (later on Sunday). If you see any issues with your grades, you need to either email me, sickler_judson@cusdk8.org or come in and see me on Tuesday at Brunch or Lunch. If I do not hear from you, I assume that everything is OK.
WEEK AT A GLANCE
Monday- More Jump Roping Skills
Tuesday- Jump Roping Skills
Wednesday- Run Day (see below)
Thursday- Final Day of Jump Roping
Friday- Fitness Day (see below)
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We are finishing up our Jump Roping Unit. You have been doing a great job. As many of you are figuring out, a lot can be done with a jump rope AS WELL AS being a fantastic workout. Many of you are walking out of the muli-use in a sweat. Good job.
So far, the 8th grade record this year is for Alysa Eldridge who has managed 195 in her 1 minute speed challenge. Let's see if anybody can break the 200 mark. Last year, Amy Berman hit 245.
WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
For the first time this year, you will be doing the Partner Mile. If you have never done it before and you want to know what it is, read here.
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
This week, I am on the Rock Wall/Weight Room rotation. Most likely, we will be in the weight room to get in some good strength training. My goal is to get in the weight room every 6 weeks. You will definitely see improvement.
DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-LOGS?
You DO NOT have to fill out an e-Run or e-Fitness log this week. PLEASE DO NOT fill it out.
IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
No, you do not have homework assigned this week.
ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
No, nothing is due this week.
EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS
I am working on my extra page this weekend. My goal, to have it published and ready to go with official extra credit assignments by next week, keep checking.
Extra Credit #1-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 #2- 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-CHECK YOUR GRADES- most of them should be updated by late afternoon/early evening on Sunday.
You do not have a Word of the Week.
