WEEK AT A GLANCE

Check out your Google Calendar for your "Week At a Glance".

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?

We are in our final week of Track and Field. My goal is to do Triple Jump on Monday and Tuesday and finish the week with hurdles. There is a chance that I will squeeze a run of fitness day this week.

WHAT UNIT ARE WE STARTING NEXT?

I am scheduled for the multi-use room for a short 2 week unit. That is a perfect amount of time to do a Yoga Unit. I have been doing this unit for 5 years and love it. For most of you, it will be a challenge b/c the poses require so much flexibility, strength and focus. Yoga is fantastic for training your fitness components, primarily Muscular Strength/Endruance and Flexibility.

Check out the new Yoga Page and make sure that you print out the yoga handouts and put them in your Sportfolio behind the "Unit Materials" tab. I will check to make sure that you have them on Monday, 3/29 when we start the unit.

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
