Report Card Post

PARTICIPATION
I always come to gym class on time and in gym strip. During class, I always participate to my fullest ability. I try to motivate my friends and peers to work to the best of their abilities on fitness and choice days. My favorite choice activities are handball, badminton, fox and the hound, dodge ball, and capture the flag. I believe these are the activities that I am most successful in. On choice days, I usually choose an activity that I would like to improve on, such as volleyball. On fitness days, I try my best no matter what the activity is. My favorite fitness activities are the beep test, community run, and loco locomotive.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTRIBUTION TO THE CLASS 
During class, I encourage my friends and peers to participate and try their best. Before and after class, I help set up and take down equipment, such as the volleyball nets. During the beep test days, I help the grades 8's with the different categories, such as the sit and reach. I always have a smile on my face and a positive attitude when I come to class.
I played for the Sullivan Heights Filed Hockey team earlier this year. It was fun and I hope to join the school field hockey team next year.
Outside if school, I am very active. I play for two different field hockey clubs (Panthers and Sharks). I play games every weekend, as well as go to multiple practices every week. I also participate in the FHBC Train to Train program, which requires lots of effort and work. I am a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do and I go to Woo Kim Surrey Tae Kwon Do on Sundays and sometimes Fridays for two hours. Every morning, I go to the gym for forty-five minutes every morning as part of my Team BC Training.

HEALTHY LIVING
This year I have improved my fitness level a lot. Last year, my first beep test score was 5.5. Now I get over 8.5 on the Beep Test every time. I have also learnt more about how far I can push myself even when my mind is telling my to quit. The only barrier/ limitation I have in gym class is when I'm telling myself to give up in class. Originally (last year), I would stop the fitness activity I was doing, but now I will keep on going and continuing to do the activity correctly until the end.
At home and at school I always try my best to eat healthy. I like to chose alternatives that are healthy rather than a bag of chips, for example. I eat lots of fruit and vegetables. One thing I have to do is drink more water (which I have been trying to do recently) to keep my body hydrated. 
I try to prevent injuries by warming up and stretching correctly before and after my fitness. When I do get injured, I apply the correct treatment and try to get healthy again as soon as possible. 
My future plans and goals regarding my fitness are to continue Tae Kwon Do and get my black belt. I will also play field hockey as long as I can be chase I love the sport and it keeps me in shape. I will continue eating healthy and exercising on a regular basis.

DIGITAL PORTFOLIO AND REFLECTIVE SKILLS
Regarding the blogs, I post after most fitness days and some choice days. I provide pictures of the activities I do for digital evidence and proof. I comment on my peers blogs to help them improve their blog as well. I take the comments I receive for my classmates into consideration when I do my next blog post. Next semester, I will try to get more videos and recordings of me on fitness and choice days for more proof. 

Overall, I believe my efforts this semester deserve a work habit of 'G' and a letter grade of 'A'.
