Once you have completed your Report Card post (and fencing & hill run), use the following link to read and comment on at least 3 other students blogs in our class. Branch out of your usually group of friends for at least one blog! This is one way that we can build community in our class:)

Report Card Post
Please do a good job of your report card post - the comment on your report card will direct your parents to your blog for them to read both your post and my comments in order to get an update on your progress. A number on a report card does not tell the whole story - use your blog to provide more evidence and information about your progress in PE.
There are 3 important pillars of PE that you must consider in order to self assess your progress.
Please consider, reflect on and write about each of the following categories of when determining your mark.
1. Action: Attendance & Participation (60%)
Attendance, gym strip, willingness to participate in a variety of activities. Field trip attendance if applicable. Effort in different activities & block wide fitness days.
2. Contribution: to the class as a community - leadership, responsible decision making, empathy towards others, inclusion. How do you make our class better? (25%)
3. Reflection: thoughtful completion of blog posts, self assessment, knowledge of strengths & weaknesses, preparation for interview.(15%)
I am required to provide a letter grade and percent on your report card. Please use the framework above to complete your self assessment that includes a percent.

PE update & Dance week
It is time to post an update on your progress in PE so far this semester. Ideally, you will have been posting short blog posts as updates after fitness days, including fitness testing scores - including the context of the day (Was it a personal best? Were you sick? Explain your results...)
FIRST POST TODAY - Please write about Dance Week - What was your attendance during this week? Why? Describe your participation throughout the week. What was your favourite part?
As a PE department we have worked hard to create a culture that values student voice and personal responsibility in owning your experiences in PE. That means that you often have some freedom within the structure of the classes on choice days and group fitness days to make your own decisions about how hard you are going to work & what activity you are going to participate in. Some of you are taking this responsibility and running with it - really pushing yourselves, being good examples for younger students, showing leadership & making class better for those around you. This is what makes a PE class successful.
For your SECOND POST TODAY, write about the following -
a) your attendance & daily effort (being prepared, willing to participate)
b) the energy that you bring to class
c) how you deal with participation in activities that you are not very skilled at (being outside of your comfort zone)
d) what can YOU do to make our class better from now on?
We will be completing a report card progress post soon and will start interviews next week.
