Week of 9/21/09-09/25/09- (Week 6)

6th Graders,

Can you believe it....Week 6 already, progress reports (deficiency notices) will be mailed out this week. All grades will be updated by Tuesday. I have been working on updating the grades and hope to have all of them done by end of day on Monday. Please keep checking PIV to check grades. If you see any mistakes or have comments/concerns, you need to see me Tuesday. I have added a new section below called, "Extra Credit". Please read through it.

WEEK AT A GLANCE

Mon- PE 101 & Assembly Schedule

Tuesday- Assembly (Diablo Fest Demonstration)

Wednesday- PE 101 (No Run Day)

Thursday- Intro to Tinikling/Cooperative Activity

Friday- Fitness Day (see below)

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?

Once again, we are focusing on PE 101, specifically, Sportsmanship Ed this week. Please look through your packet to get a little background. My daughter's name is Jillian. Do not do any worksheets ahead of time. On Monday and Tuesday, you will have assemblies that will effect your schedule. Classes are very short on Monday and Tuesday you will not have PE but instead watch a demonstration.

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?

We will not have a run this week. We will be doing PE 101 instead due to a shortened schedule on Monday and Tuesday.

WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?

I will be setting up a Fitness Activity in the gym called the "ABC Workout". It is a tough workout and expect to work hard. Jillian's birthday is June 12th. Do any of you have your birthday on June 12th. By the way, you did a fantastic job in the Rock Wall Circuit. We will continue that circuit in about 6 weeks. Good job!!!

DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-LOGS?

THERE IS A NEW POLICY WITH YOUR LOGS. YOU HAVE ONE WEEK AFTER YOUR RUN AND YOUR FITNESS ACTIVITY TO FILL OUT YOUR LOG, OTHERWISE, NO CREDIT. You need to fill out your e-run log for last week's Variety Run. Each lap was .25 miles. If your group did 4 laps, it would be a mile. If your group did 5 laps, it would be 1.25 miles. You need to fill out your e-fitness log for the Rock Wall Circuit.

IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?

The only homework you have for this week is to complete any PE 101 worksheets you don't finish during class time. Also, you need to look up your BMI and record in your Sportfolio, page 11.

ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?

Yes, the following assignments are due this week:

1. You need to find your BMI. If you print out the page with your BMI, you will receive 5 extra credit points.

2. You need to complete your Perfect Push-up Worksheet and then come test at brunch on Monday-Thursday or Lunch on Tuesday or Thursday.

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS

-Soon, I will be posting several extra credit opportunities on my Extra Credit page on my website, but, in the meantime, there are 2 assignments available to you now.

-Print out your BMI page from the website above = 5 points toward your PE 101 grade

-Make a Mixed Fitness Music CD = 10 points toward Fitness Grade.

Follow the requirements below:

*Every song has to be middle school appropriate-no swear words and no controversial

content.

*The CD has to have AT LEAST 20 songs

*Music has to be be up-tempo and up-beat (slow songs are not good for pumping people

up while working out). Use songs that you and classmates would have fun working out to.
