Week of 10/11/10-10/15/10 (1Q- Week 9)

6th Graders,

2 weeks left. Please keep checking Pinnacle, I am getting more and more grades entered. 5th period, I still have to add your 2 mile and partner mile runs. I will add these this weekend.

I am hoping to start grading the Stretch Decks this weekend as well. However, those projects won't be added into the grade book until later this week. After looking through many of them, it is obvious you put time into this project. Congratulations.

WEEK AT A GLANCE
Check out your Google Calendar to see what is going on this week. We have a lot of new stuff, so please check it out. If you have troubles seeing this calendar, please sent me an email at sickler_judson@cusdk8.org.
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We are starting Tinikling on Monday. If you have been doing your preparation to learn your step, you will be very prepared for the first day of class. To watch the videos and read more about Tinikling, click HERE.

WHAT UNIT IS COMING UP NEXT?
After Tinkling, you will continue Manipulative Skills, specifically Hand Dribbling and Overhand Throwing.

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
This week will be your second Mile Run of the year on Wednesday. I am hoping to see a lot of improvement from the 1st mile run. You have had a lot of training and tough runs since and many of you will find the mile to be easy.

WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
My classes are scheduled for the Gym this week. I am not sure what we will do yet for our fitness day, but, I have some ideas. I will let you know on Thursday.

I have an Extra Credit Page that always has different types of Extra Credit assignments you can choose from. I would love some Fitness Mixes. Make me some good CD's to use on your Run and Fitness Days. Read about the assignment guidelines on the extra credit page.

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)
It is no secret that fast food is terrible for you. However, many of you might not know why it is so bad. Here is a good, quick, easy to read article explaining reasons why Fast Food is bad and why you should not eat it. If Fast Food is a big part of your family diet, you might want to reconsider after reading this. There are plenty of good alternatives that are quick and good for you. Remember, there is an Extra Credit assignment you can do for every AOW which can be found on the Extra Credit Page.

LAST MINUTE REMINDERS
-Master your Tinikling Step....be ready for Monday.
-Get your Words of the Week done, the sheet is due on Friday.

YOUR WORD OF THE WEEK (WOW)


Go to your WOW Page, find this week's WOW and then fill out the WOW template which you need to download from this page. This template will be due on the final week of the quarter. You will have a quiz of all these words.
