Fitness Goal Assignment:
Each school year, we will be completing our fitness assessments during PE class. Students will choose one completed assessment of their choice (weight, push-ups, curl-ups, PACER). The assignment will focus on improving our scores or increasing/decreasing our weight. Within google classroom, students will submit their goal and three strategies of how to achieve that goal. (see bottom of page if you don't know how to submit assignments on google classroom) |

FAQ's
Will I be graded on if I met my goal?

What if I don't meet my goal?
- Sorry you didn't meet your goal! There are NO consequences though. For your next goal, try adjusting/changing your goal and editing your strategies.
It's the spring and we are writing another goal?
- Yes! We will look back to see if you met your goal from the fall and you will write another goal which you will aim to achieve by the end of September when we retest the fitness assessments again.
I wrote three strategies and I received an Meeting Standards. Why?
- It is likely because you one or two of your strategies were not applicable or correct. They may have not been specifically geared towards your goal. For example: If your goal was to increase your push ups (upper body), a strategy will not be regarding your squats (legs).
