WELCOME LETTEROn the first day of class I handed out this welcome letter for all students and parents to read. Feel free to download and print it.
CLASS PROCESSES/PROCEDURESI have created this classroom presentation which details the key topics related to my class- philosophy, grading, dressing out, curriculum, participation, and much, much more.
GOOGLE CLASSROOMMost of the information for the class will be posted on Google Classroom such as assignments, announcements, critical thinking questions, make up assignments, etc. It is very important that you get yourself enrolled in the class.
Google Classroom is automatically synced with our gradebook system so you should be in your class's Google Classroom. Please check and make sure. If, for some reason you are not in class or are in an incorrect class, email and/or come and see me so that I can get you the correct code. You will need to be in Google Classroom immediately.

STANDARDS BASED TOPICS COVERED IN CLASSI use both the California Physical Education Content Standards and the National SHAPE Standards to guide my curricular focus.
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTSMost homework assignments will be posted on Google Classroom with specific due dates. Each assignment description will explain what and how to turn in the assignment. Late assignments usually result in either half or no credit (depends on the assignment).
RUN DAYSYou will have a variety of runs though out the year that range from individual to partner to team runs. Runs are either "Training Runs" or "Testing Runs". The Testing Runs are either the Mile or 2 Mile Run. These runs have a specific rubric and are weighted more than the Training Runs. Training Runs can be a variety of runs that focus either on interval (speed) training or longer endurance training. They are intended to add variety into the class and better prepare students for their testing runs. All missed runs need to be made up for credit. The Mile and 2 Mile runs have a specific rubric:
1 Mile Rubric- Click HERE 2 Mile Rubric- Click HERE To see a list of all of the scheduled Mile, 2 Mile and Bear Fit Challenges for the year, click HERE. Every run that is missed has a specific make up requirement. Click HERE to see what make up distance or time is associated with a specific run. FITNESS DAYSMost weeks, students will have some type of fitness activity. Fitness activities can range from individual challenges to partner and team challenges. We use AMRAP, Tabata and circuit format workouts all the time. We also try and use various equipment like Kettlebells, Battle Ropes, TRX suspension trainers, med balls, jump ropes, BOSU trainers and much, much more.
BEAR FIT CHALLENGE (BFC)The Bear Fit Challenge is going to be a significant aspect of your overall participation grade in class. We will spend a significant amount of time in the 1st Quarter explaining the Bear Fit Challenge. Click HERE to check out the Bear Fit Page.
