How is rappelling going?

After 3 days of rappelling, how is the experience as a rappeller, belayer, onlooker? Remember during this unit the expectation is for you to rappel at least 8 times. 2 to 3 times the regular way showing me you understand the technique, 1 or 2 times going upside down and recovering, 2 or 3 times jumping off the wall army style, and 1 or 2 times going down face forward.

Rappel On!!

Tell us what your concerns are with rappelling, I want you to consider the groups, the set up, the safety measures, the accountability sheet, and what ever else that concerns you with this activity that we will be doing the next few weeks.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

No response is needed. Have a great weekend please take a moment this weekend to really appreciate all the things that you are grateful for. We tend to focus on the things we want or don't have and take for granted how great things are right now. Happy Thanksgiving and remember PE clothes on Monday we have to work off all the turkey we ate.

Check out the video this is what we are working towards.

The Wall!

Considering our values that we developed earlier in the year, how did these activities promote what we wanted our class to be about and what are some of the things that we still need to work on? The catagories where Social, Emotional, and Physical. To get the words that we used for each of the catagories refer to the blog on september 18th.

Keeping Accountable

With the work we did on Friday, concerning the values we want to uphold in class as we continue through the year, I want you to give us ideas on how we are going to keep each other accountable for keeping our values alive and real for us as we begin to venture into more challenges. Remember you can use last weeks blog to keep in mind the categories we created.

On another note remember to bring in payment for rollerblading.

Full Value Contract

Hello everyone, good work today but we still have some work to do. Choose an ideal from each of the catagories and tell us what it looks like and sounds like. An Example would be:

Catagory=social- Happiness looks like students smiling and sounds like laughter.

Then choose an Ideal from Emotional and Physical and do the same.

It would be best if we chose ideals that have not been used yet. Have fun and be creative.

Clock Activity!

Give us your view of todays activities, and if you would like add your 3 words for the week.

Welcome Back!

Let us know yout impressions of the class so far?
