GET FIT COURSE OUTLINE

Sullivan Heights Get Fit

Course Outline – 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, bowling and hiking the grouse grind.  Get Fit should provide a sense of belonging and safe community of students who are willing to try new things, participate with intensity, and push themselves beyond their comfort zone in order to see improvements in their fitness and create a new mindset about fitness and active learning.  

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.   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 throughout the semester (at least one interview at midterm and one exit interview) where we will discuss your blog posts, show evidence of your progress and we can discuss 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.
