Having spend a good 30 minutes looking at the weather... I have decided that trying to run our mile tomorrow would be dangerous. The ground will be too slippery (track or road) and it will likely still be snowing.
So tomorrow we will have a normal class, and we will aim to run on TUESDAY (so on Monday I can remind you to dress appropriately).

Wednesday Homework
You know the story of the Tortoise and the Hare, and for a few days, we have looked at some data and graphs that go along with that story.
Now it's your turn.
Write your own "Race Story"... be sure to include data and a graph about the runners and the race.
You will get ALL the work you have turned in back tomorrow. There are also quite a few papers in the "No Name" folder... any missing work that you'd like to make-up is due FRIDAY IN CLASS (yes, I am giving you an extra night).
Term 3 ends on Friday.

RUNNING ACTIVITY
In looking at the weather for the next few days....
I had planned on having us do our 1 mile run on THURSDAY. Currently, the weather is looking less than lovely, possible snow and a high of 39.
We can still run on Thursday, but everyone will need to dress for the weather.
The other option is this: we will continue with the lessons, and push the run to either Monday (sunny and 42) or Tuesday (sunny and 48) of next week... WE WILL RUN BY NEXT TUESDAY REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER.
If we wait, you will have additional information to consider when you analyze your run.
I will take a vote in class, and you can of course post your opinion here. :)
I've been training! Who thinks they can run faster than me??
NOTE: There will be a variety of "awards" for the 1 mile run :)

Thursday Homework
YES, I know that you might be VERY confused right now... and I am sorry. I am also sorry that we've been slacking in the Science department... I promise that after we come back from break, we will be spending LOTS of time in Science.
Tonight... please try to finish the packet you got today for "notes"... we will go over it quickly tomorrow, and after February break we will revisit the concepts and make sure everyone understands SPEED!!
Also... please bring back your permission forms, we will be running sometime during the first week after vacation. :)

Change to Friday's Activity....
Attention students... there MIGHT be a special activity during 5th and 6th period on FRIDAY... which could change our "field trip" to walk/jog a mile :(
Here are your options...
(1) We can go ahead as planned, knowing that we will only have 4th period, and you might get sweaty
(2) We can take notes and do more in-class work tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday... and then do our walk/jog activity, and assignment that goes along with it AFTER we get back from February break (I was going to have you complete it over the vacation). We would instead walk/jog our mile on TUESDAY FEBRUARY 28th
We will talk about this in class, but feel free to reply with your opinion... we WILL be walking/jogging the mile at some point either way :)
