Week of 10/8/12-10/12/12 (1st Quarter -Week 8)

6th Graders,

Today I was supposed to run my first half marathon (13.1) mile run for the year but I had to stay home with a sick kid.  I am hoping to make up for it in the next couple of months.   Anyway, I hope that you are outside enjoying another beautiful weekend.  Our weather just seems to be more and more amazing.  

WEEKLY RECAP & WEEK AT A GLANCE

We have 2 weeks left of Tinikling.  Let's keep practicing.  To check out what we did and what we have planned, go to your class CALENDAR.  Oh, last week I was on Youtube looking for some cool Tinikling videos and I found one of Kobe Bryant doing Step while attending a Fillipino celebration.  Check it out on the Tinikling Home Page (at the bottom).
