Wagenknecht's Classes In Health

Coming out of our break, Coach Wag's classes will be in health for 8 straight weeks. I like to do all of my health weeks in one chunk because the kids tend to do better in class when it is all at once. Going back and forth sometimes creates chaos in the classroom. This also prevents any confusion as to where students are going on certain days. While in health I ask that students bring a device in everyday (if they can and are allowed to) as most of our learning is done through Moodle. Moodle is an online classroom similar to Google Classroom where students can view, complete and submit assignments to me online. This means that kids who are sick, miss a day or are in Leap can view assignments even when they are not in class. I will update the calendar daily with assignments but understand that some students may be further ahead or behind what I post on the calendar. By the end of February all students should have all assignments turned in and completed. Once health is over, I will no longer accept health work.

During health, the students accept a big role in their own learning and discover what it means to manage their time efficiently. Some students may struggle with this and I do my best to work with those students. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Check with your son or daughter to make sure they are keeping up with their assignments and you can always check the calendar.

Lastly, we are still expecting activity logs to be turned in. Since we are not active in class however, they cannot count their PE time towards their log. As a reminder, we also offer a 100-rep option of exercises and Anywhere Workouts that count the same as a 60-minute exercise. Those can be found under the activity log tab of this blog.

Thanks and Go Flyers!!!
