8th Graders,
We are in our final week of the 2nd quarter. With the start of the 3rd start comes quite a few changes. Many of you will switch electives, therefore, causing your schedule to change. Often times, PE is effected. Most of you will continue to have me as your teacher, however, you may change the period that you have PE. I am hoping that I get to keep all of you.
If you do change periods or teacher, keep in mind, that will also mean changing your Swing Dance partner. We are are at the point where many of you are getting comfortable with your partner.
WEEK AT A GLANCE
Monday- Swing Dance
Tuesday- Swing Dance
Wednesday- HW Quiz
Thursday- Swing Dance*
Friday- Fitness/Run Day*
*= I will be out on Thursday and Friday at a professional development conference.
Check out your Google Calendar for more detail.
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We are continuing with our second week of Swing Dance. Thus far, you have learned Open and Closed Dance Position, the Basic Step, Girls Reverse Spinout and the Man's Wrap. This week you will be learning the Outside/Double Inside, Egg Beater and Slide Sequence. These are fun moves.
I put together a Swing Dance Page which I need you to read. Also, there is handout (under the "Downloads" section) on this page that you need to print out and put in Tab #3. I will be checking to make sure this in your Sportfolio sometime this week. The handout has a list of all the moves (testing sequence) that you will be required to know. It is a great resource for your test.
I am in the process of making short videos of each move you will be learning in class. Once the videos are made, I will be posting them on my website. The link to these videos can be accessed from both the 8th Grade Page and Swing Page.
WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
You will be taking a HW final on Wednesday which will take most of the period, therefore, you run day will be on Friday. I will be having a sub on Friday and will more than likely leave a simple run day lesson like running Giant laps or Run 4 Your Life. You WILL NOT have to fill out an e-run log for this run.
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
You will not have a fitness day this week. You will have a run day on Friday instead.
DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-LOGS?
e-Fitness Log: No, you do not need to fill it out.
IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
No, homework is not assigned this week.
HOMEWORK FINAL EXAM
On Wednesday, January 13th, you will have a Homework Final Exam. It will include questions about each of the assignments that you have for the 1st and 2nd Quarter. Each assignment had key concepts that I wanted you learn about health, fitness and physical education. This quiz will see how much you learned about these concepts. I will put together a study guide this week and hopefully post at the end of the week. Check your 8th Grade HW page for a study guide (it will be posted sometime today).
ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
Yes, a HW final on Wednesday.
There are several Extra Credit Assignments on my Extra Credit Page, check it out. It is time that several of you do some of these extra credit assignments to raise that grade. The quarter will be ending shortly after you get back from break.
Note: All extra credit assignments need to be completed by Wednesday, January 13th to earn credit for them.
ANNOUNCEMENTS/REMINDERS
-Please study and complete your WOW sheet, you have a quiz on Friday, Jan 8th.
