6th Graders,
Hope that you are having an active weekend. It is absolutely beautiful. I just finished a 10.75 mile run (I am training for a half marathon which is 13.1 miles). My legs are tired and by body is a little sore, but, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...right. Anyway, I hope that you have been practicing your Tinikling Step, you will need to showcase it on Tuesday.
WEEKLY RECAP & WEEK AT A GLANCE
The major change this week is that we are starting a new Unit, Tinikling. We are finished with Cooperative Games, although we will be revisiting a lot of these activities throughout the year.
I updated my calendar to detail exactly what we did last week. If you missed any days last week, please check out the calendar. To check out what we did and what we have planned, go to your class CALENDAR.
WEATHER
Looks like another good week of weather. Check the weekly weather HERE.
WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
Tuesday we start Tinikling, a Fillipino Folk Dance. To read all about Tinikling, please click HERE. Remember, you need to be learning your Tinikling Step and watch the Pole Banging video. It is important that you memorize your step by Tuesday. If you need any help with your Step, please come and see me on Monday.

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
Monday is the Partner Pacer. Although you will be doing it with a partner, it is still a tough run. Many of you will like it. It is a run that you will be required to graph. Now that you know how to graph, it should be a piece of cake. If you want to review how to graph, click HERE.
