8th Graders,
Finally, your first blog of the 3rd Quarter. Sorry that I have not sent one out in a couple of weeks.
WEEK RECAP....
Congratulations on making it through the Swing Dance Unit. Hard to believe it is over. All of you tested and many of you did very, very well. Grades will be added to Pinnacle soon, keep checking. Most of you were captured on video when I tested you, however, my battery did go out and I was not able to get all of you. If you would like a copy of your dance, come and see me and I will put the movie file on a flash drive. I am only going to put of the dances on my Swing Dance page which I hope to post this week.
On Wednesday, we had the Pedometer Run. I will be checking your graphs on Monday and collecting your rubric score. On Friday, we did an outdoor fitness circuit revolving around the bleachers. We did several different activities for a minute each. On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, we finished all of the Swing Testing.

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)
This quarter, I will be emphasizing nutrition a lot. IN fact, every WOW will pertain to nutrition concepts and you will have a big Nutrition Project this quarter. Therefore, it is important to read as much as you can about nutrition whenever you have the chance. This article is titled, "The 20 Newest Worst Foods in America". Have you ever had any of these? Think twice next time.
