Delaying gratification - the Marshmallow test
Here is what the test looks like:
click here to see the video
Remember they did this in a more scientific setting and followed the children who were able to wait before eating the marshmallow and followed the children who could NOT wait. The children who waited did better academically than those who could not wait and ate it right away.
There is real life value in being able to postpone gratification

Wellness 9 (coral) Smarty goals -
S = specific, M= measurable, A = attainable, R= realistic, T= a timeframe or timetable is associated with the goal and Y= yourself - you can only make a goal that you have control over
STAMP is the same thing ( specific, time frame, attainable, measurable) with the "P" meaning personal in place of yourself
MAPS - Measurable, Attainable,Personal,Specific not good because there is no timetable
Cognitive - means knowledge or intelligence
Affective - has to do with personality or social interaction
Psychomotor - has to do with the physical or movement
Got to first question n the HONESTY video

Some class requirements
No H.O.D's - Heads on Desk If I have to ask you too many times I will ask you to stand.
No L.U.A.D's - No lining up at the door We always try to go bell-to-bell but if we do end class early DO NOT line up at the door
Phones - Not allowed in the classroom That is the rule. Now I know many of you carry it in your purse or in your back pocket (that being the case) the phone must be off. DO NOT take out the phone to check the time - the classroom has a clock If you cannot read an analog clock I will stay after and help you learn to read an analog clock.
Folders - You will need a folder to keep ALL the handouts! and bring it to class each day we have class.
Ladies - No purses on the desk
Clock Buddies

Why health classes blog
Look to this blog and your class period for thoughts, reflections and ideas about the day's health classes.
Thursday, June 16, 2011
Purpose
So here is the plan:
Going to use this blog as a journal For example, if I have an A, B and C period health class I will write my reflections, important points, things that went well, things that did not go as plan etc. onto a blog posting for that day. Students can log into and read the blog and see what I thought about their class that day. They in turn can leave comments on what they thought of the class and whether or not they were able to meet the day's objectives, what worked for them, what did not work etc.
