HI!
I have been doing a lot of research on apps that the kids can download to help them with their fitness logs. Most of them are free, but a few cost a couple dollars. If this is something that interest them, it might motivate them to get out more! 1. Couch to 5k I have this posted on my home page. This helps students with their running endurance. 2. Calm This app helps with Meditation. I will count meditation for time in the fitness log. I believe using meditation can help you with balance in your life, which helps with the physical part of your life. 3. NTC (Nike Training Club) I love this app! I will use it in class and in my personal life. There are so many exercises to pick from. There are even 15 min. workouts that are perfect for the fitness log. 4. My Fitness Pal This is also a favorite app of mine. There is actually different apps for My Fitness Pal. There is one that can help you count calories and one that maps you run, bike ride, or hike. This is a great way for the students to challenge themselves. Recipes are also available to help with nutrition. 5. 30 Day Fit Challenge Workout This app is all about increasing endurance. The will slowly allow you to improve your core, upper body strength, lower body strength, and cardio. This is a great app for students who are not used to physical activity. I encourage you to take a look at these and see if you feel they might be a good fit for you student. Thank you! Ky

This week we have started our Tinikling Unit. This is a Filipino Dance with Bamboo Sticks. We will be using PVC Pipe. The students are required come up with a 32 count routine in a group. This will be done during class. The routine will be 25 points of the students grade.
This is a fun way to exercise and get in some great cardio time. Here are some links that can help guide your student. They should just have fun with this and be creative while working well with their group! I can't wait to see what the students come up with! Thanks! Ky Hello!!
I want to remind everyone that Fitness Logs are due every week. I will accept them no later than Tuesdays. Parents, please make sure that you review the log with your child and sign the paper. These points will not be able to be made up. There are worth 3 points a week. Thanks so much! This week I will be teaching the students about the Five Fitness Components of Physical Activity. I will have them watch the following video and will be handing out a paper explaining it. Then we will be playing a fun game to help them remember. If they are having any problems, have them watch the video again and look at the worksheet. This will be a good resource for them later on in the semester. Thanks!! Fitness ComponentsThis week we are starting our Fitness Logs. I am sending home the papers with the students this week. Some may have gotten them last week. They are worth 3 points every week Right now, I would like the students to be physically active at least 3 days a week for 15 mins. If they are physically active more than that, I would like them to still put this on their log. I will count almost anything as physical activity as long as they are moving. This includes cleaning (sweeping, mopping), shopping with parents at the store, skateboarding, walking, trampoline time, and any sports. They students are allowed to be creative. If they log one hour in a day, that is ok, but I would like to focus on really getting 3 days a week in. At the end of the week, I would like the parents to sign the paper. There is a place on the log about Fitness Components. This week, they do not need to fill this out. We will be working on that later this month. I will explain more as time goes on.
Thanks! Have fun! Hello! I am so excited for this year! I have sent a syllabus home with every student in my class explaining the class rules, expectations, and grading system. I have asked the students to please read this over with their parents, sign it, and bring it back to me. If your student is still missing this assignment, it is worth 5 points, so please talk this over with them. I will post a the syllabus in case it has been misplaced.
