Week of 2/13/12-2/17/12 (3Q- Week 4)

6th Graders,

WEEKLY RECAP & WEEK AT A GLANCE

Sorry that I was gone so much the last week and half. I attended 2 conferences and 2 workshops. It all hit at one time. At least now, for the time being, I am going to be in class for a while. Last week was a big week for you. You spent Monday, Tuesday and Thursday learning your final 3 dances. On Wednesday you had the partner pacer and on Friday you had the 5 Exercise Circuit.

WEATHER

Check the weekly weatherHERE.

MILE & 2 MILE MAKE-UP RUN

I sprained my ankle and had to leave for the Emergency Room, therefore, I had to cancel the make-up runs. I am going to have another make-up on Thursday the 16th of this week instead.

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?

This is it, the final week of Line Dance. Monday will be review and then on Tuesday and Thursday, you will be tested on your dances. Please review.

EYO INFORMATION

As you know by now, there have been quite a few issues with the EYO project because some of you have the old books and some of you have the new books. Anyway, if you go to the EYO page, I have created a section called the "Project Downloads for the New Book" and "Project Downloads for the Old Book." If you have the book with the Food Pyramid on the back, then you have the old book. If you have a the book with a basketball and Sports Equipment on the back, then you have the new book.

Your next Segment is due on March 2nd. For those of you with the New Book, Lesson 4 is all you have to do for Segment #2 and for those of you with the Old Book, Lessons 4-6 are due for Segment #2. If you have ANY questions regarding the project, please come and see me.

All EYO Project Information can be found at this LINK.

WHAT UNIT IS COMING UP NEXT?

After dance, you will have another pretty good unit- Track and Field. If you want to see what events you will be learning in this unit, click HERE. This link has all the Track and Field information that you will want to know.

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)

As you know, a big topic for this quarter is Nutrition. I am trying to find good AOW's that center around nutrition and food choices. One again, Kidshealth comes through with this article about making good decisions when eating out. One of your EYO lessons is making food choices at the Mall. This article is a good extension. Read this and tell me what you think....

DID YOU KNOW (DYK)

It takes the body about 12 hours to fully digest recently eaten food. Crazy.

LAST MINUTE REMINDERS

-Practice your dances.

-Check out the EYO page and make sure you download the correct packet based on what book you have.

YOUR WORD OF THE WEEK (WOW)

The focus of the 3rd quarter is going to be on Nutrition, therefore, all of your WOW's will relate to words associated with nutrition. WOW #3 & 4 were posted, click HERE to check it out.

I posted most of the All Star WOW's for 2nd quarter, see if yours made the page. I still have a few more to scan and add to the page. Good job.
