PAF 20

This last week before Christmas we will be working extra hard to ensure that we are burning off our holiday eating in advance :)

You should have your new fitness goals for the new year and your plan complete.  You need to include a circuit and exercises that you can do at home over the holidays.

This week we will continue with the new unit Parents and Children

We look at fertility trends, the decision to parent and why couples choose not to have children.

We also will look at styles of parenting and how each are different

Be sure to hand your data analysis in for your independent study as your final essay is due Dec 19 and as it is a final evaluation it must be handed in on that day.

Yes it is December!  That means we are doing the stairs again - this month it is 5 times !!

Monday we will do the stairs and then finish up nutrition presentations - I have some quinoa salad as well as beet and lentil salad for you to try. I will also give you time to work on your log books

Tuesday we will workout and then start to set new goals and come up with a new exercise routine

Wednesday will be one of our last nutrition days and the rest of the week we will work on our fitness plans and an exercise circuit

PAF 20 Nov 19 - 23

Last week I neglected to click "publish" and as a result there was nothing on the blog.  Here is a recap: - regular fitness workouts - the killer "leg" workout in the hallway with lots of squats, the superfoods project on Wednesday for nutrition, and the Y visit on Friday.

Here is a look at this week - we will begin fitness testing again - look forward to the beep test :) and the weather is so nice we can do one more 12 minute run outside.  Wednesday we will be again working on your superfood project and presentation on the ipads and beginning to do presentations partway through the class.  You have the assignment sheet with all the requirements and remember my presentation on Quinoa....that is exactly what you have to do.

Friday is a trip to the Y again...remember you second pair of shoes

HHS Nov 19 - 23

I must apologize for last week - I did not press "publish" and therefore nothing was posted.  Here is a quick look back at last week and ahead to this week:

Last week - we discussed polygamy, "roots", the impact of culture, watched the movie My big fat Greek Wedding and then moved on to conflict and divorce

This week:

Monday - finish up divorce
Tuesday - Relationship violence
Wednesday - Free Choice vs Arranged Marriage and cohabitation
Thursday - either finish up these topics if we get bogged down one day or begin the next unit - Parenthood
Friday - Would like to have the Unit test - remember we talked about that last Monday

We could always have the test on Thursday if that is a better day, however I would like to stay away from Thursday as that is a Lambton day

HHS Nov 5 -9

Monday - Groups - discussion on where in life we are group members, norms and expectations of group members

Tuesday - Mate Selection theories...longest  married couple World record holders - 87 years

Wednesday - characteristics to look for in a mate, characteristics of a healthy relationship, Murstein's filter theory, Sternberg's love triangle, stages in a marriage.  Survey and write up due

Thursday - Mail order Brides - documentary

Friday - Polygamy
