MILE & 2 MILE MAKE-UP RUN

There will be a make-up run on June 7th in class where you can make up any type of run you missed in class.  I am going to also hold a make up run after school next week sometime.

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).  

BEAR FITNESS CHALLENGE

It has been a while since we did the Bear Fitness Challenge.  In fact, I think it was January.  You will have your 3rd Bear Fitness Challenge a week from Monday.  IT IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT that you review the exercises.  We will spend some time this week going over the exercises, but, I want you to practice them as well.  Here is the link to the Bear Fitness Challenge page.  Here is the link to theinstructional videos for the Bear Fitness Challenge so that you can watch and review. 

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?

You will have the Bear Fitness Challenge 2 Mile Run.  Your goal is to run the fastest 2 mile that you have run all year.    

COMMENT ON THE MILE RUN THIS PAST WEEK!!!

I am very impressed with the number of you that improved to your fastest mile run of the year.  In fact, I was looking at your graphs comparing your first mile of the year (back in September) to your mile run this past week and it was amazing how much many of you improved.  I was also impressed with how easy the mile run looked for most of you.  I can't wait to see what you achieve in 7th and 8th grade.  Great job!!!
