Final Blog Post of Grade 8

I have had an amazing experience in p.e. this year. I made a lot of new friends, I learned more about physical activity itself, and I also improved myself it p.e. I learned that p.e class isn't meant for the grade, but it is supposed to be for improving your overall fitness and health. This class has really motivated me to continue improving myself in physical activity over the summer. Ms. Phillips was my major motivator though, because she would push me to work harder and do my very best. I am very sad that the year has come to an end but I an also very excited for next year in p.e. My favorite fitness day activity was the beep test. However, I didn't meet my goal for the beep test, I am driven to achieve it next year. I believe I deserve an A in p.e, because I have not only tried my best in p.e, but I have also started to work harder outside of school. on my own time. I don't try in p.e for any reason, except to improve my own personal health.
P.s, Thanks for an unforgetable year in p.e Ms. Phillips!:)

The Last Beep Test of the Year

I was actually, pretty disappointed on the day of the last beep test, because I didn't get to reach my goal of 10.0. I wasn't able to reach my goal, because I forgot my gym strip at home that day and could only start the beep test, so I just went up to 5.1. The beep test before that though I wasn't feeling very good, so I only made it to 8.7. However, if I had my p.e strip I would have tried my very hardest to reach 10, and even if I wasn't able to reach 10, I know I would have still been close. Next year I know that I will reach my goal though, so I have something to look forward to in p.e. Overall, though, the beep test was one of my favorite fitness activities and I hope I get to do the beep test a lot next year.

Physical Activity at Home

P.e class has motivated me to start exercising more at home. I have started to go for regular runs after school, however, with exams I have unfortunately had to miss some runs lately. I mainly jog, but I know that I am still getting exercise, and I am still improving myself all on my own. I enjoy physical activity now a lot more than I did at the beginning of the year, and I have Ms. Phillips/ p,e class to thank for that.(:

What P.E Really Means

Throughout the year, I have learned more about p.e and what it really means. At the beginning of the year I tried in p.e class mainly for the grades, but as the year has gone on I've enjoyed p.e more and I started to work harder to benefit myself and not just for the grade. Now that I know how fun it is to try to improve yourself in I enjoy the class more. I try to work harder now, and improve myself from when I last did a certain activity or exercise. It is fun to see how much you can improve over just one year. I have learned a lot in p.e class and I would just like to thank Ms. Phillips and the entire p.e department for working so hard to be creative with the activities we do in p.e class and working so hard to help us improve ourselves.(:

Mid-term reports

There have been many fun times in p.e, I especially like doing the beep test because I can actually see my improvements based on the score. It also improves my endurance. I enjoyed the day that we used the ipads, as well, because the next day I could feel that i had done a good workout because I was slightly sore. P.e is really fun for me because I can improve myself on so many different levels and its fun as well. I like to keep active outside of school,too. I enjoy swimming a lot and I have started swimming weekly. Now that the weather I nicer I have, also, been spending more time outside, playing baskets ball and jogging sometimes. I think I deserve an A in p.e because I try my best almost always, and when I don't do my best it is because I wasn't feeling well. I plan to continue trying my best in p.e and doing physical activity outside on p.e and school.  

interim report

I try my best in p.e to improve myself physically and mentally. After doing some sort of physical activity i feel more awake and refreshed. I work very hard on fitness days especially on the beep test, because i can accually see my improvements after doing it. I also have my gym strip everyday and I contribute to puting equipment away and helping out as much as I can. I think haveing my strip everyday benifits me because i can accually do my best and sweat, and i won't have to worry about ruining my clothes or smelling after. Also, how incouraging, suportive, and helpful all of the teachers are really helps me improve on my contribution to my personal physical activity and the effort i put into every class. I think i deserve a  G for work habits this semester. I would finally like to say how happy i am that i had p.e this semester because it has benifited me in so many ways:)<3

Active Learning Letter Grade

The letter grade that I think I deserve for active learning, grade 8, is either an A or a B. I believe I should get a mark like this is because I have not skipped any classes, apart from medical appointments, and I have always had my gym strip on for class. I have also given my best effort on fitness and non-fitness days. I have had a positive attitude in every class, too.  And, I try hard to improve on fitness days and beat my previous scores. Overall, I think I should get an A or a high B, because of the positive attitude, effort and energy I have brought with me to almost every class.

P.E Reflection

This year, in P.E, I have tried to be a positive contribution to the class. I have never forgotten my gym strip, and I have always come to class with a positive attitude. I have been willing to participate in all of the activities that we have done, all year. I have participated and tried being a good contribution to our class by trying my best on fitness days, as well as many other gym classes. However, some classes I have been sick or tired, so I did not do my best. However, on fitness days I believe I have given my best effort, like the day we did the community run for example. I believe I interact positively with many members of our class and I am encouraged to do better when I am with certain people in our class. On fitness days I especially do well, because I push myself and try to do better that I did the time before in that activity. For example, every time I do the beep test I either match my previous number or I increase my score. I don't enjoy going outside when it is cold, however. My favorite fitness activity is probably the beep test, because I get do I with my friends, but I also get to push myself, without leaving my friends behind, and the beep test is followed by other activities that I enjoy, as well. So far, I am proud that I am pushing myself a little bit more every fitness class. But, by the end of the year I hope to reach at least a 10 on the beep test.

To me leadership means to set a positive example for others to follow. I believe that the best leaders in our class are people who try their best almost every day and improve and get better at multiple things. They are, also, people who stay positive and don't complain very much.
