We have had an altered Connections schedule this week due to CRCT. Students have done circuit training. They have also received assignments helping them begin to memorize the muscle groups and how to use the machines properly. Both of these assignments were graded. In the very near future we will have a guest Pilates and Yoga instructor come and teach. Progress reports go home next Friday.

Students participated in circuit training this week. They also had an in depth classroom day in which they took notes about the muscle groups that they will learn this 9 weeks. These are the same muscle groups that they are exercising during circuit training. Log onto the previous blog and print the study guide for these groups. There will be a test and a quiz on these in the upcoming weeks.
