Dear Parent(s)/Guardian:

            I am informing you that your child has a class project that will be spread out between 5 weeks.  This project is to help your child understand the importance of health and fitness of everyday life.  The students will be working together on some parts but majority by themselves.  There will be assessment throughout the 5-week period and your child will be responsible for keeping track of all of their notes and worksheets that are part of this project.  Your child will need a 1 ½ inch notebook/binder to keep all of these documents in. 

            I have attached a copy of the 5-week calendar so you will be able to follow the progress of your child’s work. Your child will be participating in a few heart rate monitor activities that will allow your child to use technology and will be able to better understand what their heart is doing while they are performing different tasks.  You will have to purchase a $5 strap to hold the heart rate monitor on. This will keep everything sanitary, if every child has their own strap that they can take home and wash it. Your child will also learn to read food labels so they can make healthy food choices when shopping at a grocery store.

            So over all your child will be learning about the different body systems, about heart rate monitors, how to read food labels, how to work out with weights, and how to be organized by keeping a notebook of all their assignments and notes.

            Your child will be graded based on the following criteria:

                         Tests:              60 % 

                         Quizzes:         25 %

                         Daily:             15 %

                        _________________

                        Project:            100 %

 

            The only expenses that you will have are to buy the 1 ½ inch notebook and a $5 heart rate monitor strap, but the heart rate monitors themselves will be provided by the school. If there is any problem with purchasing either of these items please contact us at (512) 333-3232 Mon- Fri 8am-5pm.
