Wednesday in the classroom.

Welcome to Wednesday.  Today all Health students have an assignment over Chapter 10 Section 3 which is located online at edmodo.

Personal Fitness students will also meet in the classroom today, and will work on Assignment 3, which is over Muscular Strength.  There are 3 parts to this assignment, so make sure you (or your student) does all 3, sometimes people forget to do one!

I have been busy grading, it seems like, ever since I was sick last week.  I keep hoping to get all caught up, and I'm still trying to cut down on the pile.

Reminder:  If you (or your student) has failed a test, it is YOUR responsibility to schedule a retake. Typically for health classes, I allow them to do this the first time on a Friday, but after that, they need to schedule it.  If not, detention will be assigned, and then lunch detention.

For the HS Personal Fitness class, any assignment not completed correctly will be sent back until it is of a "passing grade" quality.  Also, for tests... if a student fails, it is their responsibility to re-schedule a re-test if they fail.  If not, detentions will be assigned.

Tuesday the 24th

Today is PE day, we will be playing table tennis in the gym.  Students will play a number of games in a "round robin" format.

Good Luck to the Cubs Boys Basketball team, and the Cubs JH BB team, as they host Miller tonight in the armory.

Go Big.  Go Red.  Go Cubs.

Table Tennis, Anyone?

Today, the JH PE students are being introduced to the game of table tennis.  Or ping pong, as it is more commonly called.  Why do people call it ping pong anyway?  It seems silly to me.

Today students will watch a demonstration of the rules, and will be given some time to play some "practice" games.

Personal Fitness has a workout day today in the weight room.

Good Luck to the JH Cubs Boys Basketball team today as they travel to Presho to play the Lyman Raiders.

Personal Fitness class is testing leg press strength on the hip sled.  Should be a good one.

I made it to work today, but I am leaving early as I don't feel well.  In fact, I am just waiting for a sub to show up at this moment.

Hope everyone else is feeling better than me.  Have a great week everyone.
