Dear Parents,
During quarter one all of our 8th
Grade PE students completed the first component of our grade 8 Heath Education
program, (‘Substance Misuse & Abuse Prevention’). Each student also
completed a series of fitness and biometric tests. Prior to the Christmas break
students will analyze their fitness data, graph it against age appropriate
norms and use the results to select some personal fitness goals for the
remainder of the year. Other curriculum areas covered by all students during
quarter one included the first component of our grade 8 ‘sports unit’ (Badminton).
As we move into quarter two and
beyond each class will engage in the same activities but at different times
during the course of the year. Please have your child walk you through the
information on their ‘MyDragonNet’ ‘PE&Health’ page so you can view the
program schedule, unit materials and assessment criteria as rubrics or exemplar
videos.
If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact me via email.
Kind regards,
Joe Nolasco
Middle School Physical Education Department
