8th Graders,
Wow, a week seems like a long time and at the same time, it seems like it flew by. I really hope that you were able to spend some quality time with family and friends over the week break and did not do much work. Unfortunately, it is time to re-charge in this push for the next 3 weeks unit you get a 2 week break. What a great time of the year. Anyway, please read through this blog, for it has a lot of information.
Oh, I added a new category to your Blog called, "Did You Know...". If you have any interesting facts to share with me that I can include in my blog, please send them on email and I will give you 2 extra credit points.
WEEK AT A GLANCE

WHAT ARE THE NEW GRADING CATEGORIES FOR 2Q?
Deficiency notices are going to be sent out next week. It is important to know how you are doing in my class and also to know what you are being assessed on. 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?
You will be starting Jump Rope on Monday in the Gym. Hopefully you have been watching the videos and learning the proper footwork, which is required for HW #2. I will be doing an assessment in class on Monday to see what you have learned.
WHAT UNIT IS COMING UP NEXT?
Swing Dance after our 2 week holiday break.

You will have the Pacer Relay. Remember, it is required that you complete 80 individual laps and 160 as a team to avoid a make-up run.

Yes, HW #2- Jump Roping skills, is due on Monday, 11/29 in class.
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)
I am noticing that more and more students are getting diagnosed with asthma and need to use inhalers on run and fitness days. Fortunately, there is a ton of information regarding asthma and here is a really quick article that gives 3 useful tips to managing asthma. Remember, there is an Extra Credit assignment you can do for every AOW which can be found on the Extra Credit Page.
DID YOU KNOW (DYK)
Americans only average 5117 steps/day out of a recommended 10,000. Australia and Switzerland lead the pack with 9,695 and 9,650 daily steps, respectively. We lag pretty far behind.
Also, Did You Know that male participants averaged 5,340 steps per day, female participants averaged only 4,912 steps per day. Let's go ladies, move more.
LAST MINUTE REMINDERS
