Sorry about not posting an official Blog last week. I did my 7.5 mile run yesterday so that I would have some time to write this blog this morning. By the way, I am running so much because I am training for the Berkeley Half Marathon (13.1 miles) coming up in November. I am super excited. It has been a few years since I have run in a race.

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
This is your final week of Jump Rope. You will have Monday and Tuesday to practice your routines (you will also have brunch, I will be in the gym) and then you will be assessed on Wed/Thurs during the entire Block Period. Good luck!!!
Next week, we start a brand new, never done before unit at Cupertino Middle with the other 6th grade classes called, Field Games. I am not sure what this is going to be all about, but, as we plan it, I will let you know.
By the way, if you want to watch last year's Jump Rope All Star Performances, just use sick fit_jumprope as the password. These might give you some ideas about adding a few more tricks to your routines.
