Whoohoo! Last day of testing. I am so ready to just be done. Today was really uneventful. Nothing that is really notable so today’s journal will be pretty short.
With the first class of the day, we started in the weight room and talked about nutrition. Nothing really special about today’s class. I assigned them the backside of the one sheet for homework. It is very simple. All they have to do is calculate their daily caloric requirements and track their food intake for one day. I told them that this time I expected all of them to turn in their assignments. I even constantly reminded them throughout the class.
The second class was split once again between half and half. I hate how the schedule is for this period because we only get 10 minutes with them for the first half. We just played that game of tag that we previously played in the last class period. During the second half of the class, we talked about nutrition like I have done for the other classes who are on this part of the unit as well.
The third and final class of the day finally just got around to the pulse logs. We are a day behind on each of the units because of the way that the classes fell and how the schedule was worked for the testing weeks. The class did really well with doing the logs. They really understand what target heart rates, heart rate zones, and maximum heart rates are. It was a struggle to get them started on the activity and keeping them quiet while counting our heart rates. It turned out to be pretty good for this class.
There are some parts of each unit in which really gets the students to think and be engaged in the activities. There are a few things I could do for each unit that would increase their participation and engagement levels. I can’t help but think that these lessons and my ability to teach them will get better and better. Maybe I am not fully preparing myself the night before because I am ready to get out. I know it’s wrong, but I can’t seem to shake it. Senioritis has set in and has been lingering for a while. Guess I am just working with what I’m given.
Until tomorrow!
