8th Graders,
Hope that you had a fantastic break. I will be sending out a more detailed log later today/tonight, so please check. Most importantly, you will be starting a brand new unit, Swing Dance which is going to from January 3-January 28th. Please check out your Swing Dance Page just to get some background information. There are 11 moves that are responsible for learning which you will have to perform for your test at the end of the unit. To help you get started and see the "visuals" of what you will be expected to learn, I made instructional videos for most of the moves. Check out the "Swing Videos" section on the webpage to watch them- all moves linked in red have a video you can watch. Also, I made a great "Introduction to Swing" video which captures some of the best dances from the last couple of years. Check this out to get excited about the unit. Password is "sickfit".
Also, this is your last week having a Word Of the Week. Please check out the WOW page, and include your final word on your template. You DO NOT have to turn in the WOW Template, but, you do have to turn in the new WOW Assignment which you can find on the WOW Page. This assignment is due on Wednesday, January 12th. You will also have a short Jump Rope Reflection homework assignment which I am posting today or tomorrow. It is going to be due on Monday, January 10th.
Anyway, I hope that you had a fantastic break. I did not go anywhere, but did get to spend a lot of quality time with family and close friends. Every year, I do a very early morning New Year's Hike in the Fremont foothills to the summit of Mission Peak. This is where I reflect on my year and wish for new and greater things for the upcoming year. Check out my photo at the summit.
