Circuit

So I basically DIED today. We did the circuit thingy where one partner stays in the gym while the other runs around, my partner was Katia. At the beginning I was like alright this is cool just running, and then by the end of it I was choking on my saliva. I went all out because I wanted to be the best I could be today, and I don't know what it is, but if I don't try I feel like I basically just failed. I'm proud of myself because even though I wanted to quit, I still kept going. I guess its because I had Pallvi motivating me.I'm still sweating but you probably didn't need to know that. Anywho, overall it was a great workout and I know that when I wake up tomorrow I'm probably going to be a little sore.

Super Late Dance Week Post

So for dance week we did Bhangra and Jazz! It was really fun even though I wasn't very good at jazz, it was just fun to be with all my peers and such. It was so funny when Mr.Williams came for bhangra and we basically dominated all the classes in the dance battle. Activities like these really bond both the bands together in my opinion

Buddies (Day 5)

Buddies was so fun today ahhh. We played a human version of rock paper scissors outside on the grass field. I feel like I did a good job of instructing my buddy as to how to play. First I explained to her what we were doing, and then I asked her to demonstrate to me what rock, paper, and scissors look like. I feel like she enjoyed today more as she FINALLY decided stretching is appropriate. I feel like she liked it a lot today because it was more interaction with her peers. Overall, today was really fun.

Parent Post

1) Have you read your son/daughters blog? Was there anything that surprised you or stood out immediately? What was your favourite part about reading his/her reflections? What did you learn about your son/daughter that you didn't know before reading the blog? What part of your child's growth/personality has been reaffirmed for you? What is missing in the blog that you think s/he should include for the teacher or peers? If you were evaluating him/her on his/her blogging efforts, what would you say? What would you give him/her out of 25? How did you come up with that number? Yes I read Anusha's blog. The thing that surprised me was how the children at school are taught to be independent and responsible for their own fitness/learning. My favourite part was when she said she said that she enjoys activities where they have to keep moving. I learnt that she is participating and taking interest in her fitness.I am reaffirmed about her self confidence. However, whats missing in the blog is her experiences of out of school field hockey games and taekwondo lessons.I would give her 25 because she has been consistent with maintaining a high fitness level. HEALTHY LIVING: 2) What do you notice about your child's health choices outside of school? What activity and or diet choices does s/he make on their own? What exercise/eating choices are encouraged buy the family/household? Did you see any evidence of this in his/her blog? What is missing that should be included? What improvements do you think your child could/should make to further his/her understanding and participation in his/her own health? What things can you as parent do to push this learning/practice? If you were to evaluate your son/daughter on their progress towards personal healthy life choices what would you say? What mark would you give them out of 25 for his/her efforts and demonstration of those efforts in the blog? How did you come up with that number? Anusha makes healthy choices at home, she eats a lot of greens and avoids junk food as much as possible. Our family eats home cooked meals everyday which is always a well balanced vegetarian diet. She is encouraged to be physically active every day after school as she is enrolled in taekwondo and field hockey,plus she goes to the gym on weekends. I did see evidence of her gym workout and eating habits in the blog.I think by logging the physical activity everyday anusha would benefit more. I am satisfied with Anusha's healthy life choices and give her full marks.

Fitness Day

So we did sprints on friday, and I'm not going to lie this was undoubtedly the most boring fitness activity we have done. I wish we could've done like the community run or the pond run because it felt like such a waste of a beautiful day. Most of the time we would stand around, and when we did run, it was for a really short time. I prefer activities where we are constantly moving. It was nice talking to Gaby though. I feel like throughout the year the grade 9's and 10's have become so close. Also photo props to Simran (god bless).

Dragon Tails Round 2

We played against the other class and it was so much fun (because we basically kicked their butts), and because we all worked as a team and all that good stuff. I think our class is a lot closer than the other band class, which is awesome, and that contributed to our success in dragon tails!

Buddies (Day 4)

That day at buddies was really fun because we were outside, and I feel like my buddy had a lot more fun because of the open space. We had to practise throwing tennis balls into hoola hoops, and it was fun. She was doing great, she's a really good listener, she did everything I told her to, asked questions when she was unsure. It was a good day overall. I've become more comfortable being a leader with my buddy.

Buddies (Day 3)

(super late im sorry im so forgetful) So my buddy wasn't feeling too good on that day, and her enthusiasm level was a little low, but I tried to keep her energy up, by motivating her and such. By the end she really didn't want to stretch. We taught our buddies how to do the jump and stop, and it was really different being a leader. It felt very strange because all of a sudden I was faced with a new responsibility. Communicating with my buddy wasn't difficult, she was a fast learner, and picked up the skills easily, I guess I'm not that bad at being a leader ;)
