Get Fit First Post

Hello girls!

Hopefully you are able to get your blog up and running today.  We have some experts on blogging in the class already that should be able to help!

Please come to me with your URL (web address) so that I can add it to our class site on my wiki at:

Ms Phillips Wiki

I am creating this page that will link blogs from the entire class so that I can easily find them, and so can you when it comes time to comment on and encourage your classmates in their journey in Get Fit.

I would like your first post to be a paragraph (or more) about why you chose to take Get Fit and what you hope to achieve in this class.  Once you have created and published your post, please find, read a follow a few other people's blogs in the class - add a few blogs from girls who may be outside of your grade level and friendship circle.  Building community!

If you have more time, please post your thoughts about the activities that we have completed so far, including about your baseline fitness tests and where you would like to go from there.

Get Fit Course Outline

I will send a copy of the course outline home with you today for your parents, but I am encouraging you and your parents to keeping checking my Get Fit / Super Fit blog to see our class progress.

Course Outline – 2013/2014

Welcome to Get Fit!  This is a fitness based PE class in which you will push yourself to increase your cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility, agility and power.   You will have the opportunity to participate in many different fitness activities both at school and in the community, such as aquafit, spin class, hot yoga, sun run, skating, tae kwon do, dance, zumba, snowshoeing and hiking the grouse grind.

You will be creating a blog in this class as an online journal to reflect on & track your progress, act as evidence of learning, interact with your peers in the class and find inspiration & motivation.  My blog can be found at:

phillipsgetfit.blogspot.ca

I encourage your parents to check on my blog (and yours) to get updates on class events.

You will be completing written blog reflections and we will be conducting interviews to discuss your progress as the semester continues (at least one interview at midterm and one exit interview) where we will discuss your blog posts & you will show evidence of your learning/effort/progress.  Together we will construct a grade that best represents your progress in the course.

Field trip information (including dates & associated costs) to follow – if you have any suggestions or concerns about going off campus,  please let me know.

Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns.

I’m looking forward to an amazing semester!
