Week of 10/11/10-10/15/10 (1Q- Week 9)

8th Graders,
2 weeks left. Please keep checking Pinnacle, I am getting more and more grades entered. Most grades have been entered unless you have given me extra credit, a make up assignment or late assignment. I usually grade those the final week of school.
WEEK AT A GLANCE

Check out your Google Calendar to see what is going on this week. We have a lot of new stuff, so please check it out. If you have troubles seeing this calendar, please sent me an email at sickler_judson@cusdk8.org.

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We start Lacrosse on Monday. The first 3-4 days of the unit will be skill review, development and practice. The final few days of the unit will be Tournament Play. Each period will differ depending on skill ability. Primary skills are Throwing, Catching, Scooping and Cradling. To check out all you need to know about Lacrosse, click HERE.

WHAT UNIT IS COMING UP NEXT?
Although it a while from now, we will be doing Floor Hockey next.

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
This week will be your second Mile Run of the year. If you remember, you ran the mile way back in the second week of school. I am guessing that many of you will do in the mile, considering that we have done some tough runs and fitness days since then. You will be required to fill out the mile run log after this run.

WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
We will be in the gym this week for our fitness day. There are several options. I will let you know on Thursday what we will do.

Note: If you miss any fitness days, you need to complete the Fitness Day make up assignment found on the Make Up Page.

DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-RUN LOG?
You did not need to fill out an e-Run log for the Partner Pacer.

IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
No, you do not have any homework this week.

ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
Yes, your WOW template is due with the 7 words from the quarter. You will also have a WOW quiz as well. Remember, you WOW template can be found on the WOW page.

I have an Extra Credit Page that always has different types of Extra Credit assignments you can choose from. I would love some Fitness Mixes. Make me some good CD's to use on your Run and Fitness Days. Read about the assignment guidelines on the extra credit page.

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)
It is no secret that fast food is terrible for you. However, many of you might not know why it is so bad. Here is a good, quick, easy to read article explaining reasons why Fast Food is bad and why you should not eat it. If Fast Food is a big part of your family diet, you might want to reconsider after reading this. There are plenty of good alternatives that are quick and good for you. Remember, there is an Extra Credit assignment you can do for every AOW which can be found on the Extra Credit Page.
