Week of 11/18/13-1122/13 (2nd Quarter -Week 5)

6th Graders,

Sorry about not posting a blog last week.  We are starting Week 5 this week and then next week is a much needed week off.  Hopefully you will spend this time with family and being active.  Anyway, read the blog below.        

BLOG FORM
This is a quick reminder to please fill out the form at the end of this blog after you finish reading it.  Not filling out the form will lead to a loss of participation points.

WEEKEND PUSH-UP CHALLENGE
I am so proud of how many of you have been doing this challenge.  It is going to benefit you significantly.  

How many of you completed 25 or more push-ups to match your weekly total?  If you haven't yet, get down and do them.  Don't cheat your body.

WEATHER

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We are in our 3rd and final week of Field Games.  First week was lacrosse skills, second week was Frisbee skills and the 3rd week is going to wither continue with Frisbee and/or be something else depending on what the rest of the department chooses to do.  

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
You will have your first Pedometer Run of the year.  What is the pedometer run, click HERE.

RUNNING CLUB STARTING SOON!!!
Running Club starts this Thursday at lunch.  Basically, I am starting this to allow students to get on the track and/or Figure 8 lap once a week to build up miles, make up runs, walk with friends.  You will have a log sheet that you will fill out at the end of all of your runs.  The goal will be to rack up as many laps (miles) as you can throughout the year.  I am hoping to get some prizes
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
Our fitness activity this week is scheduled for the block period and will be determined by what facility space I have.  We may be indoors trying a fitness video.  I am not sure yet. With the blacktop now gone, it is making things very tough. 

IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
No, no homework is assigned this week.  You will be having another PE 101 screen cast assignment when you get back from the Holiday Break.  

ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK
No, nothing is due this week.
