8th Graders,
It is week 2 of the new quarter. It was total madness last week with the rain, the power failures, etc. You did a great job making it through. Unfortunately, I did not have a lot of time to go over my blog in class with you. Please continue to read this, for it is the best way to get information to you. The big thing this week is the Swing Dance Testing which will happen on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (possibly Friday if we don't get everyone tested).
WEEK AT A GLANCE
Monday- Swing Dance Testing Begins*
Tuesday- Swing Dance Testing
Wednesday- Run Day
Thursday- Swing Dance Testing
Friday- Fitness Day
*I will award extra credit to any pairs that decide to get dressed up in the spirit of 1920's swing dance. In order to receive the extra credit however, you and your partner have to have a great dance as well. Do a little research to see how you can modify and be creative on what to wear. DO NOT BUY anything new, just piece together an outfit.
Check out your Google Calendar for more detail.
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
This is our final week of Swing Dance. We will be testing on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday of this week. Please go the Swing Dance Page and download the sheet that has the order of all moves. Work on memorizing it....Be prepared.
I have worked pretty hard making short iMovie clips of some of the dance moves that you have learned. I did this to help those of you that might be struggling a little bit and learn better through "visual" information rather than written. To see the clips that I have made, go to the following link and click on the move from the Swing Video Resources.
WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
We will be doing the mile run. Be prepared....
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
Once again, because of the Rain and chaos from the previous week, our department needs to figure out where everybody is scheduled for their fitness day. Depending on where we are scheduled will determine what we do for our fitness day.
DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-LOGS?
I have made a BIG change for you e-Logs this quarter. You NO LONGER have to fill out e-fitness logs for your fitness days. If you choose to fill them out, you will receive 1 point of extra credit every time that you do.
Also, for your e-Run logs, you are not going to fill out a general log any more. You will fill out a SPECIFIC log depending on the run that you do. Please check out the new e-Run log page to see what I am talking about.
You will need to fill out your e-Mile Run log after you run the mile this Wednesday.
IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
No homework is assigned this week. You will have your first homework assignment posted on next week's blog.
ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
No.
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.
