Week of 4/11/11-4/15/11 (4Q- Week 3)

6th Graders,

WEEK RECAP.....
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday were spent practicing juggling skills. I am totally impressed with how many of you have mastered 3 ball juggling and are experimenting with rings and other stuff. For those of you struggling, I am impressed with how hard you are working and keep trying. It will come to you and when it does, it will feel amazing. Wednesday was the Partner Pacer and Friday was my traditional ABC workout in the gym. Good job!!!

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
We are wrapping up our final week of Juggling. I will be testing on Tuesday and Thursday to see where you are relative to the goal- knowing how to juggle continuously using 3 objects. You can always refer to the instructional videos on the Juggling Page to help you out. Also on the Juggling page, I found some good 4 ball juggling instructional videos for those of you looking for a new challenge. I also found a few partner juggling videos. Watch and see if you want to try in class.

WHAT UNIT IS COMING UP NEXT?
Tumbling, one of the more difficult units for most students is coming up right after Spring Break. To help you get more familiar with what you will be learning, I have made some instructional videos you can start to watch now to practice. These videos can be found on the Tumbling Page. I am currently working on the Cartwheel and Roundoff videos which I hope to have completed today/Monday. Keep checking. Email me @ sickler_judson@cusdk8.org if you forgot the password to watch the videos.

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
Pedometer Run.

WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
I am learning toward an ab workout in the Rock Wall.

IS HOMEWORK ASSIGNED THIS WEEK?
No, nothing is assigned this week.

ARE THERE ANY ASSIGNMENTS DUE THIS WEEK
No, nothing is due this week..
I have all kinds of Extra Credit available in my class. Check out theExtra Credit page to check them out.....

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)
Bullying will always be an important topic around school, particularly in Middle School where bullying is very common. I have provided AsOW in the past regarding this topic and here is another one. You can play a huge role in the safety and comfort of students around campus. Here is an article that explains how you can help a kid that is being bullied.
