Red Tuesday

Why Red Tuesday?  Because I'm wearing Red today.

Actually the same jacket as in this very photo.

PE today.  1st, 2nd, and 3rd period classes are doing strength training in the weight room.  Not much instruction today, just time for the students to investigate, try things out, ask questions, etc, etc...

Personal Fitness - Workout Day today.  Students will be following their own workout plans in the weight room area.

7th Period - we will be doing our "Health Presentations" today at the start of 7th hour in the gym, because of the shortened class period tomorrow.  Then, with what time is left, we will play a game in the gym.

Reminder:  Tomorrow is the last day of school this week for Thanksgiving break. 

School will be dismissed early at 2:30 pm.

Thursday, PE day

Today, 7th and 8th grade classes will again be going to the weight room to learn some more information about strength training.

We will be going over the many different uses of dumbells, and how students can use them and incorporate them into their workouts.

The students will have some more free time today in the weight room, to try different exercises and equipment.

Personal Fitness - Workout Day - students will be following their own workout plans today, in the weight room.  Some of the students have been struggling with the "freedom" given to them on their workout days... and they need to realize that these plans are theirs, not mine.  They are graded on PE content standards... but if they are only doing 1 or 2 of their 6 planned exercises.... they are not demonstrating the proper application of the standards to each of their exercises.

Tuesday, PE day

Today in Physical Education classes, students are being introduced to strength training.  We aren't doing alot of heavy lifting or anything... just an introduction to what strength training is, who it is good for, what are some of the benefits, and then some demonstrations and practice time on some of the weight lifting machines.

Personal Fitness had a workout day today.  The students did not perform very well today.  They need to be more focused on their workout plans, and less focused on visiting with their friends.
