Personal Fitness Oct 28 - Nov 1

This is the last week we will follow your original fitness plan before we redo the fitness tests next week.  Make sure that you make every workout count.

We will also start our mental health and stress unit and you will be working on a project where you will research a method of stress reduction and present it to the class on the iPads.

Friday is our trek over to the Y.  Now that it is really nasty weather out ensure that you have a pair of indoor shoes to wear.

Parenting Oct 28 - Nov 1

Wow this week is a busy one!

Monday - We will finish up the conception to delivery video we started last Friday, there are 20 minutes left, then we will carve pumpkins BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE HANDED IN ALL YOUR ASSIGNMENTS....there are still a handful of you who need to hand in the interview assignment that was due before Thanksgiving. There are also 10 - 12 who need to hand in last Thursday's Timothy Green movie review and questions.

Tuesday - party prep....finish pumpkins, crafts, move tables, set, up etc. 

Wednesday - We head to Clinton Public to meet with our kindergarten buddies, the Theme for the Day is Ghosts and Pumpkins

Thursday - come dressed for Hallowe'en it is our Party for Preschoolers....if you have a little person coming they can be dropped off at lunch time but they need to be picked up by 1:45.

Friday - hopefully Mrs Grant and her two daughters wi be in - she will talk to you about being a new Mom again and what a typical day is like for her

Parenting October 21 - 25

Wow - where did the weekend go?? I hope you had a great one - I went to the Brad Paisley concert in London and it was fabulous!  Here is a look at the upcoming week:

Monday/Tuesday - We are watching a video about parenting and then completing a movie review and you will be revisiting the letter you wrote to your unborn child.

Wednesday - We begin looking at the stages of fetal development month by month

Thursday/Friday - More information on healthy pregnancies and we start learning about  labour and delivery.

I have ordered the pregnancy vest and it should have arrived late on Friday afternoon so you will all have the chance to try it in the next few weeks

Personal Fitness October 15 - 18

I hope that you found some time to be active this long holiday weekend and you were able to be outside.  The cool mornings are perfect for running!

This week we continue to workout according to our fitness plans.  There are 4 of you who still need to hand in your fitness books to be marked as you were at volleyball when I collected them.  There are also a few of you who need to complete some assignments in your books and hand them in - at the moment those are marked "incomplete"

This is a reminder of the quiz on Friday - last Thursday you received a review sheet...USE IT AS IT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL FOR THE TEST.....HINT HINT

Your test has diagrams of both the heart and the muscular system to label.  It is imperative that you study those diagrams.

Parenting October 15 - 18

I hope you had a fabulous long weekend with family and you were able to be outside in the wonderful weather!

I was disappointed to find that only 9 out of 25 people handed in their parenting interview assignment.  You choose the due date and had 1.5 weeks to complete the assignment.  If you are one of the 16 people that did not hand it in you must do so Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

The rest of the week will be spent finishing up loose ends in preparation for Friday's test.  We need to take up the birth defects assignment you worked on last Thursday and we need to finish up the note on healthy nutrition and lifestyle in pregnancy

REMINDER OF FRIDAY'S TEST

Knowledge and Understanding - 15 marks......6 M/C and 9 True/False....you must correct the false 
                          statements

Fitness - Oct 7 - 11

Here is a tentative look at the upcoming week:

Each day this week we will have a group warm up and workout and you will have a chance to workout on your own fitness plan.

Remember: this is a participation based course and you need to be active.  Constant socializing and lounging will not result in a great mark.

Due to the PD Day on Friday we will be travelling to the YMCA on Wednesday of this week.  Remember to bring an indoor pair of shoes

Keep your logs up to date, I will collect them Thursday.
