Dance field trip

Dance this week was a lot of fun! I've never tried this type of dancing before and I had a lot of fun! I really enjoyed doing the high jumps and learning a dance that's totally different from what I've done! I would love to try more types of dances even though I'm not that great.  I feel more open and comfortable our class and am not afraid to really do and try the dance moves!

Final report card

This overall semester, I have come a long way doing fitness activities and participating in class field trips. My attendance has bee quite good, I have missed a few days here and there due to becoming ill or leaving for appointments for my back. I contribute by helping set up and clean up for games and or sports such as badminton and fencing. Another way we contribute to this class is by bringing out positive attitude and upbeat spirit. A few of my weaknesses are I become very shy and and it's hard to make new friends. A few of my strengths would be I am very positive, and once I set my mind to do something I try my best to achieve. I have always completed the required blog posts and make them as detailed as possible. I think I deserve an A(90%).

Fencing!

Fencing was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed learning something I've never tried before. It's something I thought I'd never have the oppertunity to do. 
I enjoyed learning what posture to position myself in and how to hold the sword.

Late skating post!

Salting was a lot of fun and I really felt outside of my comfort zone. I have a fear of water and any form of it! I still tried to skate and even let go of the skating walker. I ended up really enjoying and facing my fears! Everyone had a smile on their faces and it was great to skate with so many of my friends! 

Overall progress

My daily attendance is good. The only time I miss a class is if I'm feeling ill or I have an appointment. I always participate and put a lot of effort in because I like being athletic. I always just think I'm giving my body the movement or fitness it needs by doing my best in this class. I bring high energy to the class most of the time, being honest I sometimes feel unenergized. Doing activities outside of my comfort zone I tend to feel very awkward. I still try and push myself. For an instance when I'm doing weights I can only do 3 sets of 10, but I've recently tried doing more and more and it has actually helped me improve. Now I do 3 sets of 15. I also have tried doing dance during dance week which is way out of my comfort zone. I still tried my best even though I was terrible! I can try to set higher goals for myself and push myself to do do more out of my comfort zone. 

Dance week

During dance week I participated and engaged in learning the steps. I learned I am a terrible dancer! I still really enjoy it. My favourite was hip hop even though I couldn't keep up with the steps! They were too fast for me. I could feel myself sweaty by the end of Zumba, it's a sign I had tried very hard. My attendance was good I had only missed one class due too a doctors appointment for my back pains.
