Week of 3/28/11-4/1/11 (4Q- Week 1)

6th Graders,

This week marks the start of the first week of the 4th quarter. You have 9 weeks of school left (thanks for Furlough Days).

WEEK RECAP.....
Monday was the Homestead Color Guard presentation for all grades. Tuesday, the weather was actually nice enough to do 100m Sprints. Although Wednesday was a rainy day, I was able to do a "Rep Fitness" activity in the multi-use with Mr. Kwas's class. On Thursday, I also combined with Mr. Kwas's class and we did an ab workout along with watching Track and Field world record videos. On Friday, the rain was on and off all day and decided to have a graded run, 3 giant laps (1.8 miles). All but 7th period was able to finish the run.

WEEK AT A GLANCE

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We officially start Juggling in the gym on Tuesday. On Monday, the Diabolo (form of Juggling) is coming to present in the gym for all 6th and 7th graders. On Tuesday, we will have day 1 of Juggling. Please go the Juggling Page to check out some cool videos but also to download the packet and complete the homework assignment. To complete the homework assignment, you need to watch the instructional Juggling Videos.

WHAT UNIT IS COMING UP NEXT?
After Juggling we will start the Tumbling Unit. All 6th graders will be doing this unit at the same time. Check out my Tumbling page to start reading about it. I am hoping to make and post videos of each of the skills you will need to learn so that you can start to practice at home.

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
I am going to have you High Jump instead of having a run day this week.

WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
You will be doing your second day of High Jump on your fitness day.
