8th Graders,
Happy SuperBowl Sunday- Go Packer and my CAL boy Aaron Rodgers. We are in our 4th week of the quarter. Hard to believe. Next week will be deficiency notice time. I hope to have all grades entered in Pinnacle by Thursday.
WEEK RECAP....
This week was focused on Fitness Testing. Monday we did the push-up, wall sit and ab plank test. On Tuesday, we did the cardiovascular testing with the 2 minute jump rope and bleacher steps as well as 1 minute tricep dips. On Thursday, we finished up testing by doing the pull-up test, push up plank hold and all of the flexibility tests. On Wednesday, we had the mile run and on Friday, our fitness activity was the ABC workout.
WEEK AT A GLANCE
Check out your Google Calendar to see what is going on this week.
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
I have decided that for the next 6 instructional days we will do Ultimate Frisbee. This week, we will work on some Frisbee skills and choose teams and then the following week, we will have a short 3 day tournament.
WHAT UNIT IS COMING UP NEXT?
Track & Field in mid February.
WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
This week, you will have the 2 mile run on Thursday. Note, the ONLY way to make up the 2 Mile Run is to run it with me on a selected Friday after school. You CAN NOT make up this run on your own.
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
We are scheduled for the Multi Use room for our Fitness day on Friday. I am not sure what we will do yet. I am leaning toward working with the resistance bands or Bosu balls again. DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-RUN LOG?
This week, you need to fill out the MILE RUN ONLINE LOG. You will not be required for the other runs we do.
IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
No, nothing is assigned this week.
ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
No, nothing is due this week.
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)
As we continue our theme of nutrition this quarter, I am going to try and provide your with a lot of helpful resources to make better decisions about what you eat. Here is a good article about foods that help you lose stomach fat. Not all of these articles are necessarily the true way it is, but rather, they provide their own perspective. You should read these articles and ask yourself, Do I agree with this or not? I have a good extra credit assignment related to your AOW, check it out HERE.
