Week of 3/08/10-3/12/19 (3Q- Week 7)

6th Graders,

Once again, we had another rough week due to weather. You have missed quite a bit of the Track and Field events. My goal is that when I am gone next week in Yosemite, you will have the chance to do some of them. Anyway, you have been great sports about it all.

Yes, you have your first segment of the EYO project due this week. I AM HOPING THAT YOU WILL TURN THEM IN ON TUESDAY so that I can grade them and get them back to you this week. If you can not turn them in on Tuesday, then you will have to wait to turn them in on 3/26..

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS

There are several to choose from, check out the Extra Credit Page. I have added a new extra credit assignment related to the new Article of Week (AOW) that I will be posting on this blog and on your 8th Grade Page. You can turn in the response to the AOW and receive 2 points. Those points will add up.

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)

Every week I am going to try and find a good fitness and/or nutrition related article that I feel will help to better contribute to overall fitness habits. This is a pretty good article on sleep advice.

LAST MINUTE REMINDERS

-Please get your EYO segment 1 in on Tuesday to give me time to grade it.

-Muscle Quiz on Wednesday
