Hi everybody. For the next two weeks we will be using jump ropes. I love jumping rope because it is such a fun way to improve muscular and cardiovascular endurance. This unit allows the students to work independently to create a routine filled with different jump rope skills. At the end of the unit the students will be asked to complete their routine which consists of at least ten of the tricks that have been practicing.
Because this is a very independent skill, I will allow students to check jump ropes out so that they can practice at home. Please ask your student how their routine is coming along, and maybe they can show you how hard they have been working with this skill.

Weeks of 1/5-1/16: Health

Hello and welcome back to school everyone. These next two weeks we will be in the classroom. We will be talking about nutrition and choices we have with the food that we eat. We will be watching Super Size Me, a documentary about a man who chooses to eat nothing but McDonald's food for 30 days. This will show students what bad choices in nutrition can do to their bodies. We will discuss some of the choices they have everyday and how those choices can affect their lives.
