6th Graders,
This is a big week coming up with STAR testing. I know that you are going to do well. The key this week will be getting plenty of rest, eating well and staying as stress free as possible. Keep your focus and remember to do something fun and that you enjoy when you come home from school to try and clear your head. Anyway, I an excited to hear how you do throughout the week.
WEEK AT A GLANCE
This week, instead of looking at your Google calendar, just click HERE to see the STAR schedule. There is a link to the START schedule from your 6th Grade Page. To be honest, I am not sure what we will do this week because of the odd and inconsistent schedule. My goal is to fit in a run and/or fitness day as well as some Frisbee skills. This week will be a day by day schedule.
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We are going to start Frisbee skills. The skills will focus on catching, throwing and aiming. Frisbee skills fall into the Manipulative Skill of sidearm throwing and catching as well as aiming for targets. This should be fun.
STAR TESTING
Once again, please try and keep yourself relaxed and focused throughout the week. The best way to do this is to get plenty of sleep and eat well. Stay away from really fatty foods and foods high in sugar. If you eat too much sugar, you risk a sugar crash which could occur during your testing and you will feel fatigued and lose focus. You want to do well on these tests so that you can get placed in the right classes throughout middle school. Good luck.
WHAT UNIT IS COMING UP NEXT?
We will finish the year with Tumbling.
WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
I am not sure what run we will do this week. I'll keep you posted.
WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
