Week of Dec 1st

The first full week of the winter trimester!

Remember to check here weekly.  Since we are starting our health unit now, all updates will be here.
I will remind you of quizzes, homework, assignments due and will post the occasional links here.

So keep up to date and look here often!

When we do have classroom, remember to bring your planner, pencil and all else you may need to get your work done.   8th graders should have their chrome books, we will use randomly.
Also have in your bag a whiteboard marker and a highlighter.  Please come prepared to class so we can start learning quickly.

Our location rotation is:
GYM > CLASSROOM/CAFE > FITNESS ROOM for those classes w/3 teachers
GYM > CLASSROOM/CAFE/FITNESS ROOM for those w/2 teachers
We will usually have 2 days of classroom a week.
Always bring your calendar to class so you can write down your schedule for the week.

Our first sport in the gym is volleyball!



In health 6th graders begin with cold, flu and water information.

7th graders start with bones. I will give you a list.

8th grade begins with body design.  I hope you remember the question for thought!

week of Nov 17th

This is the last week of the the first trimester!
That means the last week of our current Fitness classes.
All students move on to their next teacher next trimester.
We move in alphabetical order.
My classes to Maciel, Maciel to McMaster, McMaster to me.
Unless someone does not teach that period, then the students just go to the other teacher.

It also means you need to have all your missing assignments in by Wednesday!
Please check your grade and make sure you are up to date.
Don't wait until the last minute to realize you forgot to turn in something.
Any questions, just ask me in class!

My classes are still in soccer!
If the weather holds we will play outside, if not we will adjust.
Remember to wear the correct color sweats if you need them.
It will be cooler this week.

Volleyball tryouts will begin Dec 8th.
 There will be a quick informational meeting at morning break in the gym Weds.


Have a fun and fit day!

Welcome back 6th graders!  I heard you had a great time!

First week of November!
There are many holidays this month so put them in your planners!
Not this week though.

Sports a thon is this Friday.
Hope you started getting pledges.
Our goal is 15,000.00 !
We can do it if everyone supports our school.
Have you asked your parents place of work, or grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, or neighbors?
Our community is very supportive of our schools, you just have to ask.
Anything and everything helps!

Remember we need  a few parents also.  And if you have siblings in High School who want to help us, let me know!  They would be welcome.
If you can donate fruits and vegetables, let us know also!
The monies go to music, athletics, scholarships AND all the fun activities the students do at school!
It should be a beautiful day!

This week in fitness class we are starting our new sports.
I begin soccer!
6th graders will dress out Monday, then we do CPR/First Aid Mon., Tues., & Weds.
If the weather holds, we will play outdoor soccer until the trimester ends.

We are done with all health tests, maybe a few make-ups.
And just a handful of skill tests to finish.

It will be a fun and fit week!
