Students have completed lessons on "Dressing appropriately for the Weather".  They have learned the different fabrics which function best for the different layering systems of clothing.

Students are currently working on the Mountain Biking unit.  They have finished a worksheet on how to fit a bike, differences between road and mountain bikes, and the different parts of a bike.  This assignment is due Friday, October 4th.  

They will now be looking at various topics needed to be considered when planning a mountain biking trip.  These include items needed for a mountain biking trip, safety considerations, and signs on the trail.
