6th Graders,
Congratulations, you finished Line Dance and most of you did exceptionally well. Many of you earned extra credit. Come by and see me anytime at Brunch this week and I will let you know what you got.
WEEK AT A GLANCE
Mon- Start Pedometer Fitness Unit
Tuesday- Pedometer Fitness
Wednesday- See below
Thursday- Pedometer Fitness
Friday- Pedometer Fitness
To see more detail on what the week will look like, go to your 6th Grade Google Calendar.
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
You will be starting a brand new, 2 week unit called "Pedometer Fitness". You will be using a Pedometer for every activity that you participate in for 2 weeks. The types of activities that you do will vary. You will learn how to determine your stride length and then input into your Pedometer to customize it. I have created a Pedometer Fitness page on my website that needs to be updated. However, there are 2 handouts REQUIRED for Monday. Please go to the Pedometer Fitness Page, download the handouts and bring them to class on Monday.
Here is the link to the Pedometer Fitness Page. Also, there is a great Pedometer Extra Credit Assignment available on the Extra Credit page that can earn you 20 points. Check it out. You need to own your own pedometer or borrow one from a friend to complete the assignment (you can come see me about renting one also).
By the way, you also have another homework assignment about Pedometers that has been posted on your 6th Grade HW page (see below).
CRATE CARRIERS
All crate carriers have been determined for the 3rd Quarter. The list of all the official carriers (and backups) will be provided at this link. Please check it out and see if I made a mistake.
Remember, this is a BIG responsibility so take it seriously.
WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
This week, you will be doing the 2-2-1 Run. I am not sure if 6th graders have done this run this year yet. It is a long, tougher run so please be prepared. To read about this run, click here.
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
To stick with the theme of Pedometer Fitness, you will have some type of team Pedometer Fitness activity where you will perform a task and then record your steps on a score sheet. There are several type of activity ideas that I have, so the actual activity will not be explained until Friday.
DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-LOGS?
e-Run Log: Yes, you are required to fill out the new e-Mile log by Tuesday.
e-Fitness Log: You no longer have to fill it out. If you choose to, you will receive 2 extra credit points awarded towards your fitness grade.
IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
Yes, I posted HW #2 for the 3rd Quarter. The article is on Pedometers. This assignment is due on Monday, Feb 8th at Roll Call. This assignment may not be posted till Sunday night or Monday morning. I am still working on the assignment.
ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
Yes, HW #1 is due on Monday (tomorrow), 2/1 at Roll Call.
Check out the Extra Credit Page for assignments. Check out the great Pedometer Extra Credit Assignment, it fits very well into our Unit.
Type 2 Diabetes is your "Word of the Week". You will be required to use a new template for the words. This is your new WOW webpage where you will download the template. I will also list the words on this page as well.
