In my strive to lead all of my students to a healthier and more active life, I realize that parental involvement is of the utmost importance. I ask all of the parents to encourage their students in any way that they see the student acting on being healthier. Here you will find a brief calendar of how the year is planned to progress, as well as different assignments and even some homework and extra credit opportunities.

Assignments: This Class includes three separate journals that are due on the 2nd of Dec, Nov, and Oct. I will expect at least three paragraphs typed or written that show different methods of how the student can apply the skills he/she had been working on into everyday life in order to live a healthier life. I am not looking for anything profound, I just think the brain should be worked as well as the body : )

I Also Ask that this WebQuest Be completed By Dec 18th. It is another fun way for students to monitor what they eat and create a small workout program for themselves (the link to the webquest is directly above this)
