Week of 1/04/10-01/08/19 (2Q-Week 9)

6th Graders,

Well, it is time to start the weekly blogs again. I hope that all of you had a relaxing break and feel re-charged for the 2nd half of the school year. Hard to believe, approximately 2 quarters left and you will be done with your first year of middle school. Actually, there are 2 full weeks left of the 2nd quarter and we have a lot to do. Please read all of the blog below. I look forward to seeing you next week.

WEEK AT A GLANCE
Mon- Line Dance Begins
Tuesday- Line Dance
Wednesday- Run Day (see below)
Thursday- Line Dance
Friday- WOW quiz & Fitness Day

To see more detail on what the week will look like, go to your 6th Grade Google Calendar.

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
Finally I get to teach my favorite 6th grade unit of the year, Line Dance. At the end of each school year, 6th graders admit that Line Dance was one of their favorite units. I created a Line Dance Page on my website that explains and covers what will be happening in the unit. Also, there is a handout that you are responsible for printing out in the "Do I Need To Download Anything" section. Please put this in Tab #3. I will check on Thurs/Friday to see if you have it.

I put an extra credit assignment for you to do at the end of the page. In order to complete this assignment you have to watch the Line Dance Youtube Video that I posted. It is a cool extra credit assignment.

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
You will have the Figure 8 run this week. I like to schedule a longer endurance run when you get back from a long break. You will need to complete 3 "Figure 8" laps for a total of 1.5 miles. If you run extra figure 8 laps, you will be given extra credit points.

WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
Your fitness activity this week is to be determined. I will announce what we will be doing in the middle of the week. Some of your fitness day will be taken up by your WOW quiz which you will do at roll call.

DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-LOGS?
e-Run Log: No, you do not need to fill out it out.
e-Fitness Log: No, you do not need to fill one out this week.

IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
No, you have homework due this week.

ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
Yes, your WOW worksheet is due on Friday at Roll Call as well as having a quiz.

I have several extra credit assignments posted that you can choose from on my Extra Credit Page. Please check them out. Most are easy to do and will be a great way to help keep your grade in the A/B range.

Check out your Line Dance Page for a new extra credit assignment.




You DO NOT HAVE a "Word of the Week", but, your WOW worksheet is due Friday and you will have a quiz.
