Mrs. Terry Physical Education

I’m getting lots of questions regarding the fitness charts that I sent out. When you fill them out record the number that you do. For example – 30 sit-ups or 3 sets of 15 push-ups, etc. My goal is for you to get some exercise and improve your level of fitness. Don’t get hung up on everything being done perfectly! It’s okay to be creative. If you did not record the number that you did previously just start doing that now. If you received your chart mid week just start from there.

I’ve been riding an exercise bike some days and other days jogging ( very slowly) 🙂 Some days I jog up and down the stairs for a few minutes in addition to walking my dogs.I’m also going to start biking when the weather gets better. I do these things to keep fit but I also find that it really boosts my mood and reduces stress.

Swimming

Swimming begins November 4th. All students are expected to participate daily. Any missed days MUST be made up regardless of the reason. A missed swim day can only be made up with a swim. Make-up/Extra credit swims will be done before and after school. We will post a schedule of these dates in the near future.

Class Information

Classes will be doing various units this semester. We are currently in a tennis unit. We will be running on the track to prepare for our 1 1/2 mile fitness test run. Running days are generally M and W with our activity days being Tu and Thurs. Fridays will vary. Have students bring warm clothing since we will be outdoors until November.

Extra Credit / Make-up runs are beginning to be scheduled with the first one being tomorrow after school. Your student will be informed of these opportunities with postings on the bulletin board outside of the locker room door. Check with them frequently so you also know when they are.

MAKE-UP / EXTRA CREDIT SWIMS will start being scheduled. Students know to check the black bulletin board for dates.

One make-up counts for 1 missed swim class period. If a student does not need to make-up any days they may use these swims for extra credit.

The locker room will be locked at 6:30. After school swims begin at 2:30. Students will  not be admitted after 2:30. The schedule will post which are which.
