Week of 10/12/09-10/16/09 (Week 9)

6th Graders,

There are exactly 2 weeks left. We are almost there.

Congratulations for finishing your Tinikling testing. I am impressed at how well most of the groups did. If you are not happy with your Tinikiling score, please come see me as a group.

WEEK AT A GLANCE
Mon- PE 101 (Fitness Components)
Tuesday- PE 101 or Intro to Manipulative Skills
Wednesday- Run Day (see below)
Thursday- WOW Quiz & Manipulative Skills
Friday- Fitness Day (see below)

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We just successfully completed our short Tinikling Unit. We are going to start on a long, 10 week unit called "Manipulative Skills". I recommend that you read all about Manipulative Skills at this link. There is a 10 page packet that you need to print out, put behind Tab #3, and bring to class on Tuesday. The packet can be downloaded from the Manipulative Skills page. I will be asking some questions about Manipulative Skills that you can really only answer if you read through the website. By the way, how many miles of blood vessels are in the body? (Read below on instructions on now to find the answer I am looking for).

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
We are going to be running the mile again. We ran the mile 7 weeks ago. I feel as though this is a perfect time to see if and how much you have improved. Be prepared. It is supposed to be 70 degrees, but, there is also a chance of rain. Obviously, if it raining heavily, we will postpone the mile for another time.

WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
You will be working through a Heart Rate worksheet in your PE 101 packet as your fitness day this week. This is more than likely a 2 day lesson which means that we may finish it the following week.

DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-LOGS?
You DO NOT need to fill out your e-Run or e-Fitness logs this week. Due to Tinikling, we were not able to have a run or fitness day. 3rd period...you DO NOT have to fill out an e-Fitness log even though you did a fitness activity. To see how many miles of blood vessels are in the body, click here.

IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
Yes, you have a homework assignment. It is called HW#4- "Phases of a Workout". Please click here to download and complete the assignment. It is due on Friday, October, 10/16.

ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
1. Print out your Manipulative Skills packet and put in Tab #3. Due on Tuesday, 10/13.
2. HW #4- Phases of a Workout Assignment is due on Friday, 10/16.

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.

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

B) 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.
*Make sure the songs are from different artists

ANNOUNCEMENTS/REMINDERS
-Print out your Manipulative Skills Packet.
-Download and complete HW #4.
-Check grades and make sure that you are on track in my class.



You do not have a "Word of the Week".
