Within the the Foot Dribbling rotation, you will also be doing some kicking at goals to work on Striking with body part and aiming. Remember, you can click here for all the information you need about manipulative skills. Sorry, no extra credit trivia this week.

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?

More than likely, we will be doing what is called the Pacer Relay. I did this run for the very first time last year and it was a big success. To read about the Pacer Relay, click here.

WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?

We will NOT have a fitness activity this week because we are going to have the PE 101 test instead. Please make sure that you study hard, the test will be worth about 10% of your overall 2Q grade.

DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-LOGS?

e-Run Log: No, you do not need to fill one out this week.

e-Fitness Log: No, you do not need to fill one out this week (we did Rob the Nest).

PE 101- Important Please Read

On Thursday, I reviewed your PE 101 packet and all the worksheets that are REQUIRED to be done. This packet is due this Friday, 11/20. Also, you will have a big test, covering all of the key concepts of PE 101. The test will be a combination of multiple choice, matching, short answer and some essay. I gave you a study guide that I used from questions I have written for the test. If you lost your study guide and want to print it out again, OR, if you want to print out a new packet, please click here. I added a Microsoft Word packet so that you can type your answers if you want.

IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?

No, I did not assign any homework this week other than to study for your PE 101 test.

ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?

1. No, nothing is due this week.
