It was really nice to get into podcasting and group activities with in-person groups last week.  Please remember to complete any missing assignments on your learning platform this week.  

Phys Ed this Week

The focus of this week will be grade level specific.  Please be sure to check out the weekly schedule or the dry erase board on the PE hallway to know what is happening this week. In general:

• 6th Grade- Handball: We may play a little differently than the other classes, but you will be playing handball.  It will look similar to our ball-game tag that we played during our first session of PE.
• 7th Grade- Flag Football: You will have a combine and a fantasy draft day.  On Wednesday, we will practice on our teams and Thursday will be game day.  Be sure to be ready on every snap during class to get the highest rating and the chance to choose your team.
• 8th Grade- Flag Rugby: We will cover some history and get into understanding how the game is played.  

Virtual Students: Please check your Canvas week 8 schedule for details of what will take place this week!

Students that participate in athletics at and outside of school

You are expected to participate in PE just like every other student.  No excuses! Change your level of intensity, work on a skill that you have yet to develop, help others learn to enjoy competition, but sitting out is not an option.  This is your time to build leadership skills and represent your team, coach, and family!  Even if you already have an offer from a division I college, you should want to participate in PE class, every day!!!

DAY OF AWESOMENESS

Friday is the reward day for your efforts placed into our first fundraiser of the year.  Our Day Of Awesomeness will take place on Friday, September 24th.  Virtual students, if you plan on attending, please see the survey placed in CANVAS.  It will give you a time slot organized by grade level for you to attend.  Please only register and attend during your grade-level time slot.
