6th Graders,
Week 1 of the 4th quarter. Everyone is starting off with a fresh start and clean slate. Every student has an A to start the new quarter. My goal is to have most, if not all, of the grades entered by tonight in Pinnacle. Please check our grades later. If you have any issues, you need to come and see me at brunch in my office.
WEEK AT A GLANCE
To check out your "Week at a Glance, please go to your 6th Grade Google Calendar.
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
Tomorrow, we are starting a quick, 2 week (6 day) Juggling Unit. I will not gurantee that you will learn to Juggle by the end of the unit, but, I can say that many of you that never thought it was possible will be Juggling. Once you learn it, it is a pretty good feeling. You never know, you can pop on a clown costume and work some little kid birthday parties.
Juggling is a fantastic activity to practice your hand/eye coordination, concentration and patience. Good luck. Please watch the Juggling videos for your homework assignment and practice.
You are responsible for printing out the Juggling Handouts which are due in your Sportfolio (tab #3- Unit Materials) tomorrow. Go to THIS PAGE to get the handouts.
WHAT UNIT IS COMING UP NEXT?
After the 2 week of Juggling, we will be doing our Tumbling unit. I hope to have a website built for Tumbling next week.
WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
We finally get to start our regular weekly runs again. We are starting the quarter with the Pacer Relay.
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
We are also back on track with weekly fitness days. We will be doing the Inside/Out fitness circuit. It is the same one that we did during your Pedometer Unit.
DID YOU FILL OUT YOUR E-LOGS?
e-Run Log: No, you DO NOT need to fill out an e-Run log, we did not have a run last week.
e-Fitness Log: We did not have any fitness activity to log.

ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK?
Yes, HW #1- Juggling, is due on Wednesday at Roll Call. Remember, this HW assignment has a good Juggling video that you need to use to practice.
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)
I am sure that I will end up having several articles relating to sports drinks. This is a good article on Running and your Joints. Check it out. Remember, there is now an Extra Credit assignment related to your AOWs in the "Little One's" section.
