To find what happened this past week and to see what is coming up, check out your Google Calendar to see what is going on this week.
If you were absent on Thursday and missed the PE 101 Lesson on Aerobic and Anaerobic Training, you will be responsible for making this lesson up on your own. I am going to post a video lecture of this lesson to allow you get caught up. The link to find this video will eventually be posted on this page.

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS
Go to the Jump Rope Page, look at the Advanced skills. Find a few that you think you can do and then practice them. If you can perform them consistently (for 10-20 seconds), come in and I will film you. You will receive 2 points/skill that you can perform up to 5 total skills = 10 points. There are some pretty amazing skill, check them out and see if you are coordinated and determined enough to figure them out.
ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)
As you get busier in your lives, it is more and more difficult to find time to get adequate amount of sleep. Why is sleep so important? How many hours of sleep should I get in a night? Is my sleep pattern different than that of an adult? All of these questions and more can be answered in this week's AOW- "How Much Sleep Do I Need?". Check it out and see what you think.
DID YOU KNOW (DYK)
DYK that the length of your wrist to your elbow is the same as the length of your foot. Measure it and see if this fact is right or not.
LAST MINUTE REMINDERS
If you missed the Aerobic/Anaerobic lecture on Thursday, you are responsible for the information.

ReplyDeleteAnne, there is a Tinikling page on my website. Much like Jump Rope, I made instructional videos to help you learn the steps of the dance. The link is here, http://bit.ly/hF7JfS
ReplyDeleteVivianne, the best way to get better at basketball skills is to practice, practice, practice. Through a lot of repetition you will improve.
