week of October 19

Progress reports were last week.  Now we are on the last 6 weeks of the first trimester.
We are still in rugby, as long as the weather holds and we will be playing games
this week.  Look up the game online if you want.  Next week we will play flag football.

6th graders only have one day of class this week, we will play rugby.
There will be no Google CR assignment.  But be ready for your stretching test next week.
I will put info on the blog for you.

7/8th graders will have their stretching test this Wednesday.  No Google CR assignment either!
So study!

Still go on Google CR to see your grades and missing assignments.  A few are still behind on their
work.

Have fun and STUDY!

6/7th grade stretches: I have started them for you!  With all stretches, you need to feel the stretch, so do the move until you do. bicep- put straight arms behind you with thumbs up tricep- pat your back w/elbow up & push down elbow with other arm hamstring-sit down w/one leg straight, one bent & reach for your toes with both hands quadricep-grab you ankle, bend that knee  and pull that leg behind you gastrocnemius-get in high lunge position & lean forward brachioradialis-hold one arm shoulder height in front of you and press down your entire hand with other hand anterior deltoid - put straight arms behind you with thumbs down posterior detoid -hold arms in front of you shoulder height and use one to pull back the other by the elbow, so it crosses your sternum abdominals -lay down in forearm plank position, but put your hips/lower body on the ground and lift your shoulders up and forward external obliques -form an "O" with both arms above your head and lean to the side without twisting trapezius -put both arms straight in front of you, shoulder height and form a triangle with your hands, then roll your shoulders forward latissimus dorsi - sit on knees and reach your upper body forward on the ground so your arms are reaching out straight erector spinea - one leg is straight and one bent over it, knee up, on the ground, and twist your upper body to the side of your bent leg, so you are looking behind you.  Push against the outside of bent leg gluteals -sit on ground, bent both legs and put one ankle on the other knee and lean into them pectoralis -put both arms to your side, shoulder height, 90 degree angle, palms facing forward and pull back soleus /achilles tendon -lunge position, but bring knees closer together and bend back knee tibialis anterior - put back leg shoe laces facing the ground and lean forward with both legs bent, so you are trying to touch shoe laces to ground to the ground.  Stay balanced! 8th grade can figure out the rest, you already did them as homework!
