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.

Also, Good Luck to the CHS Lady Cubs tonight as they host district rival Miller at the Armory.

Go Big.  Go Red.  Go Cubs.

Welcome Back!

I am back at work today, after going home early Monday and missing the day on Tuesday.

I'm not gonna lie though, I still don't feel right.  Jerry, (Mr. Rhodes) thinks I may have strep.  I don't know, but I feel bad still.

Today I'm all about the classroom.  JH Health classes are watching an introductory video to Chapter 10, then doing a short assignment on Chapter 10 Section 1.  Chapter 10 is over "Digestion and Excretion".

Personal Fitness class has assignment two today, which is on goal setting.  Last week, we did assignment one which was on physical fitness, what it is, why we should want it.  This week, we look at setting some goals for ourselves.  Hopefully the students find it helpful.

Well, I'm signing off for now, hope everyone out there in blog land is feeling better than I do.

Tuesday PE

Today we will use the Heart Rate Monitors (HRM's) to measure how hard we are working in PE. 

We will do our standard warmup- Stretching, Pushups, situps, and jog.

Then, we will do some fitness relay races.

Personal Fitness has a workout day today, they will be working on their individual fitness plans.

In personal news, my new "Zero Drop" running shoes from Altra Running are on their way!  I ordered a pair of Altra Instincts.

I'm excited to get started with the "barefoot" running craze.  Altra makes their shoes so that they are designed like the human foot.  You can notice that the padding on the shoe above is the same in the forefoot as it is in the heel.  That is what they call zero drop.
