Week of 12/16/13-12/20/13 (2nd Quarter- Week 9)

6th Graders,

Can you believe it, our final week until a much needed 2 week break.  I am excited...I need the time off.     

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

WEEKLY RECAP & WEEK AT A GLANCE
The calendar is fully updated with what we did last week (in case you were absent) and what we will be doing next week.  Click this  CALENDAR to check it all out.  It is your responsibility to be prepared.  

WEATHER
It is warming up a bit.  That doesn't mean don't wear the appropriate stuff to PE. For some of you, it is still going to be very cold.  Dress appropriately. Please check weekly weather HERE
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We are finishing up Lacrosse this week with a 3 day fun tournament.  I am not going to make it super competitive, it is more to give you experience of lacrosse in game play.   

LINE DANCE
Alright, you next unit is Line Dance.  A super fun unit, but challenging b/c you have to learn 6 dances.  Tomorrow, you will be drawing a dance randomly out of a hat to see which dance you will be responsible for learning and teaching.  It is very, very important that you learn your dance and take full responsibility for it.  If not, you will let your group down that you will be teaching it to.  The dances are; Electric Slide, Boot Scootin' Boogie, Men In Black, Who Let the Dogs Out, Wild Wild West and Allenalu.  You could get any one of these.  

There are good instructional videos for every dance as well as links to the music, all on the Line Dance Page.  Click HERE to check it out and peak at all of the dances.  Mr. Sickler is hillarious in these videos.  Be sure to laugh at him and make fun of him on Monday.

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
You will have a super fun fun called, Run For Your Life this Wed/Thurs.  If you can't remember what it it is, click HERE.

RUNNING CLUB STARTING SOON!!!
Running Club is going to meet this Thursday.  If you need to make up a run and/or want to get some extra credit, show up and rack up those miles.  
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
No Fitness this week.   

IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
Yes, watch and start learning the Line Dance that you draw out of the hat.  I am not going to require anything other than you learning it.  I will expect that you have prepared and will be ready to teach it to your group.

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

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)
Do you eat breakfast on a regular basis?  How about before you come to school?  If not, read this ARTICLE and understand why it is so important to not skip the most important meal of the day.  A lot of you have long days and the "fuel" you need to make it through the day will come from your breakfast.  Let me know what you think about this article by doing the extra credit assignment.

YOUR WORD OF THE WEEK (WOW)
What is Word of the Week (WOW)?  Word of the week is a word that I post on the WOW page on my website.  If you click on the word, it takes you to a definition of that word.  You will receive 4-6 words/quarter.  At the end of each quarter, you will use each of these words in a paragraph.  You WILL NOT use each word in a paragraph, but, only write ONE paragraph using all of the words.  This assignment is restricted to ONE paragraph only.  The goal is to not literally DEFINE the words, but, rather, use them in context in a paragraph in a creative story demonstrating to me that you know what the word means without telling me what the word means.  

You WILL NOT have a WOW paragraph assignment in the 2nd quarter.  My goal is to have you do it for the 3rd quarter.  I'll announce it if you do.    

FILL OUT THIS FORM PLEASE TO LET ME KNOW THAT YOU READ THE BLOG!!!
