Week of 3/4/13 - 3/8/13 (3rd Quarter -Week 6)

6th Graders,

I have to say, last week was a fun week of Track and Field.  I hope that you liked Long and Triple Jump and wait till tomorrow when you attempt full hurdles in the classic Hurdle Relay Race showdown.

JUMP ROPE ROUTINES

I still have not posted them yet on the website.  I will let you know when I do.  There were so many good routines. 

PE 101 PACKET

I have regraded all of the PE 101 packets so please check Pinnacle.  A few did not pass again and I write "Please See Me" on the front page of your packet.  I want to give you another chance to pass, but, in order to do so, you have to come and see me so that I can figure out what additional support you need.

WHAT UNIT ARE WE IN?

Tomorrow, we start Track and Field, specifically, Long Jump.  If you want to know which events you will be doing on what days, you need to go to your Google Calendar.  I really want you to poke around the Track and Field page to see what the unit is all about.  It is a fantastic unit and had a wide array of different events.  These are the same events that we have for our After School Sports Track and Field program as well.  

This week we have Long Jump, Triple Jump and start Hurdles.  These are 3 pretty cool events.  Please do a little research on these before class tomorrow.  Click on the links below:
