6th Graders,

Congratulations, you made it through the Tumbling Unit.  Most of you did very, very well and I was happy to see that you were able to perform skills you struggled with in practice.  It shows that if you work hard enough at something, you can accomplish almost anything.  Nice job.

DUE TUESDAY- READ TO SEE WHAT IS DUE

You have nothing due.  However, if you want to, you can check out and subscribe to my Youtube page.  I have been posting workout videos.  Check it out here. 

MILE & 2 MILE MAKE-UP RUN

I plan to hold a make-up run after school as soon as the Track season ends (a week and half).  It has been impossible for me lately b/c I have been coaching.

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?

This upcoming final unit will be a Blender Mix of a bunch of stuff.  Most of it will be Cooperative Activities/Challenges and Sportfolio work getting you ready for next year.  It has been a while since we have been able to discuss PE 101 and go over some of the missing work in the Sportfolio.  Be prepared for anything.  I will do my best to keep my Google Calendar updated if you are really curious about what is going on.  

You will have the BEAR FITNESS CHALLENGE starting on Monday, 5/21.  (Read the next section).
