Week of 10/15/12-10/19/12 (1st Quarter -Week 9)


6th Graders,

Can you believe it- the end of this week will mark your first quarter of middle school, done, over, just like that.  Congrats, you made it with flying colors.  We have already almost finished 9 weeks of school, hard to imagine how fast that went.  We sure have done a lot.

WEEKLY RECAP & WEEK AT A GLANCE
This if your final week of Tinikling.  You will be completely done with it after your Block day.  Keep practicing.  To check out what we did and what we have planned, go to your class CALENDAR.  

WEATHER
Check the weekly weather HERE.  Please dress accordingly.

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?
This is the final week of Tinikling.  Your final assessment will be on Wed (2nd and 6th period) and Thursday (1,3,5, and 7th period).  Good luck.

LINE DANCE- THIS IS THE NEXT UNIT
On Tuesday of next week we will be starting Line Dance.  All 6th grade classes will be doing Line Dance together.  This is a super fun unit.  The hardest part of this unit is learning all the steps to all the dances.  You are in luck, I have made instructional videos for each of the dances and they are pretty easy to follow.  I HIGHLY recommend that you watch and practice these dances.  Please practice these with a parent or family member.  It is easier to learn them with someone else.  

To check out the Line Dance page, click HERE.  There is a lot of good information, even links to to iTunes where you can buy the songs to practice to the music. 

WHAT IS OUR RUN THIS WEEK?
On Friday you will be doing the Pedometer Run.  What is the Pedometer Run, click  HERE to find out.  Also, what is a Pedometer?   Click HERE to find out.
