The all star of 9-4 was an easy decision this week because this student really stood up above the rest. Bryan Middleton! Brian challenged himself with the circuit and WOW did he do an impressive job. Constantly moving at each station for a minute, properly executing the exercises and being self motivated. I was so impressed Bryan! Great work.

Activity Plan Assignment

Name: __________________

Goal: to analyze and monitor our physical activity over the course of one semester in order to improve our activity level, using frequency, intensity and duration. We want to move more!

What I need to do: daily record the answer to these three questions:

o   The frequency: did I exercise today, if yes what kind of activity did I do? (ex. Soccer practice, walking, rock climbing, swimming, sit-ups, yoga, etc.)

o   The intensity: how hard did my heart work using beats per minute (bpm’s) or the weight in lbs?

o   The duration: how many minutes?

The last thing you need to include is:

o   The date and time!

As a class we will work on the initial goal setting (making SMART goals for our physical activity. SMART means our goals are: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely!

Please glue or staple this page into the front of your notebook as a reference for your assignment.

*OPTIONAL:

o   You can also include other aspects of your activity time such as how you felt before, after or during or your overall health. Be creative!

Check Point!

Hey Grade 9's!

I am so blessed to be working with such a fantastic group. No offense to the other teachers but I think I got all the Gr. 9 all-stars!

In saying that choosing all-stars of the week proved to be difficult.

In 9-3 I would like to congratulate Andrea Walker as the all-star of the week. She ALWAYS has a smile on her face, she works hard and is always adding to the postive atmosphere of our classroom! Congrats Andrea and keep it up!

In 9-4 I would like to congratulate Matt Zaplachinski. He has stood out as someone who is positve, helpful and needs to be commended as the fastest student in grade 9. Very well done Matt. Both your names will be put in the final draw for a grand prize at the end of the semester.

In saying this, all-stars are up for grabs for the outdoor games unit. I am watching very closely for leadership abilities, positive attitudes, overall improvements and the way you are interacting with your peers!

Keep up the hard work 9's, it is not going unnoticed!
