8th Graders,
Wow, week 2 already. Can't believe it. I loved all of your halloween costumes on Friday and hoped you enjoyed a day with your friends and just hanging out. We have a big week coming up with new stuff so please read through this Blog.
WEEK AT A GLANCE
Check out your Google Calendar to see what is going on this week.
WHAT ARE THE NEW GRADING CATEGORIES FOR 2Q?
Every quarter I change the categories you will be assessed in my class. This particular quarter, there are 11 different categories. Check them out HERE. If you have any questions about the categories or how you are assessed, please come and see me.
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We are starting our first week of Floor Hockey.
WHAT UNIT IS COMING UP NEXT?
In a few weeks, we will begin Jump Roping in the gym.
WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
This week is the Pedometer Run.
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
This week our fitness day is in the Gym. I am undecided as to exactly what we will do, there are a ton of options.
DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-RUN LOG?
We did not have a run last week, therefore, you do not need to fill out an e-Run Log. Please fill out the e-Mile log from the previous week. It appears as though many of you still need to fill it out. This grade will be applied to your 2nd quarter grades.
IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
Yes, HW #1 (Lacrosse Assessment) is posted on your 8th Grade HW page. It is due this Friday, 11/5. I posted the HW assignment as a .doc file that you can type on or a .pdf file that you can print and write on. Your choice.
ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
Yes, HW #1 (see above) is due on Friday, 11/5 at Roll Call.
RUNNING CLUB STARTS ON TUESDAY MORNING
For those of you that attended the meeting or even didn't attend and want to participate in Running Club, our first meeting of the year is Tuesday at 6:45am. Get there a bit early, 6:30ish, so that I can get your set up. Hope to see you there.
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)
With students using Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and other social networking sites, Cyberbullying is becoming a major problem. I have been hearing about it happening at our school and if you read the papers and listen to the news, it is becoming a MAJOR widespread problem across the country. The great thing about Cyberbullying is that you have complete control over whether it happens or not. Read this article about Cyberbullying. I plan to post more AOW's relating to this in the future. Remember, there is an Extra Credit assignment you can do for every AOW which can be found on the Extra Credit Page.
LAST MINUTE REMINDERS
-Fill out your e-Mile log.
-Complete HW #1, due this Friday.
YOUR WORD OF THE WEEK (WOW)
You have a new W.O.W. for the 2nd Quarter. Go the WOW page and look at the work. I have a new assignment for your WOW words at the end of the quarter. In addition to your WOW template, you will be required to use all words in a well-written, grammatically correct paragraph. The WOW assignment is posted on the WOW page.
