Interim Reports - Get Fit

I would like to see you up and using your blogs to post about your experiences so far in Get Fit.  With our busy week of field trips (Today, Monday and Tuesday), I would like you to post at least once during that time about our field trips on your own time (include pictures?).
I will book the library or iPad cart for Wednesday next week so that we can blog as a class as a formal report of your work habits.  This will serve as your interim report, as digital evidence of your journey and provide a platform for an ongoing conversation that your parents can read about and become a part of throughout this semester.  I will post guiding questions & themes next week.

New Get Fit Bloggers!

Welcome to my new class of Get Fit Bloggers!

Hopefully you have given me your URL or web address of your new blog - and now I should be following you so that I can see the posts that you publish.

Write a paragraph about what you hope to get out of the class this semester - What are you looking forward to?  What do you hope to achieve?  What personal fitness goals do you have? What are your expectations of this course?

Have fun playing around with the templates and making your blog unique.

Active Learning - New Post

In todays fitness class, I would like you to think about what you have written in your mid year blog post.  Many students have written about how hard they work and push themselves during fitness days which is awesome!  Many more of you have written about having goals to improve your fitness as the year continues.  I was very happy to see so many students writing about how fitness has been beneficial to you so far.

With that in mind - please think about how you can show me evidence of your effort.  It may look like a written reflection.  Even better, post a picture of you either during or immediately after your workout that clearly shows that you have been sweating, have a red face etc., along with a short reflection of what it feels like to work hard.
