How is rappelling going?

After 3 days of rappelling, how is the experience as a rappeller, belayer, onlooker? Remember during this unit the expectation is for you to rappel at least 8 times. 2 to 3 times the regular way showing me you understand the technique, 1 or 2 times going upside down and recovering, 2 or 3 times jumping off the wall army style, and 1 or 2 times going down face forward.

Rappel on!

Tell us what your concerns are with rappelling, I want you to consider the groups, the set up, the safety measures, the accountability sheet, and what ever else that concerns you with this activity that we will be doing the next few weeks.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

No response is needed. Have a great weekend please take a moment this weekend to really appreciate all the things that you are grateful for. We tend to focus on the things we want or don't have and take for granted how great things are right now. Happy Thanksgiving and remember PE clothes on Monday we have to work off all the turkey we ate.

Check out the video this is what we are working towards.

Trust Fall!!

Tell us about your experience with the trust fall this week. Both as a catcher and a faller. Are we ready to move on to rappelling?

Trust lean, pendulum, levitation etc...

Considering our values that we developed earlier in the year, how did these activities promote what we wanted our class to be about and what are some of the things that we still need to work on? The catagories where Trust, Respect, and Open Mind. To get the words that we used for each of the catagories refer to the blog on september 18th.

The wall!

During this activity what did you learn about yourself and your peers? How did this activity help us as a class if it did help us?

First quarter over already!

Happy Halloween! We have been in class for 4o days. Think back to the start of the year and let us know where you are at with the class? What role did you play this quarter? How did the class meet your expectations?

What happens now?

I apologize for how class ended on Thursday, I could not let it continue in the direction that it was going. From your point of view, how can we use this situation to help us create the enviroment we want in Outdoor Adventure?

Stepping Stones

Keeping Accountable

With the work we did on Friday, concerning the values we want to uphold in class as we continue through the year, I want you to give us ideas on how we are going to keep each other accountable for keeping our values alive and real for us as we begin to venture into more challenges. Remember you can use last weeks blog to keep in mind the categories we created.

On another note remember to bring in payment for rollerblading.

Full Value Contract

Great work today remember we all have to be a part of this. Under each catagory come up with a word or words that tell us how it looks, how it sounds and how it feel. An Example is:
Trust looks like people helping each other sounds like "Im here for you", and feels like freedom to express onesself. Be creative and have fun. See you monday.
