Great sharing today, thank you all for being so open.
Considering the climbing unit that we are about to embark on,let us know on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being very scared to 10 not scared at all, where are you at and why? Also what are your expectations for yourself and your classmates for our climbing unit?
From a scale from one to ten I feel like I'm at a nine. I think I'm at a nine because the group I was in for rappeling, they all did a really good job and we worked as a team all the time; I feel like I trust them all a lot. Another thing is that it doesn't scare me as much to like climb so I feel pretty confident I'll be okay. My expectations for myself is that I can hopefully do this and don't get scared and like do a good job in this unit;aaanndddd encourage my team. As in for my classmates I hope they can all get through this,and hope we all have fun!

I would say i "think" i'm a nine, because right now i don't feel scared about it at all. (But i might be a little scared when it's actually my turn!) I've learned to truly trust my climbing group, and i feel safe with them.
ReplyDeleteMy expectations for myself include is that hopefully i won;t get scared when it's actually my turn, to keep my group safe when climbing, and to have fun with it, like we did with rappelling.
And for my classmates, I believe that each of with the help of our groups and each other will work together so each one of us can successfully learn to climb and succeed with it.
I would say i "think" i'm a three because right now i feel scared about it. I've learned to truly trust my climbing group alot and also i feel safe with them.
ReplyDeleteMy expectations for myself is that now that when its my turn i will tried to go and show my climbing teammates i tried my hardest and not be scared. We have to tried your best and have a blast during it if we dont like it. We have to get used of repelling cuze so that we know for devils lake where we will be climbling at in may for the field trip.
And for my classmates they are very helpful and caring to each other and show that they really care for the another classmates in the gym class to. I believe in them and everyone in this class is sweet caring nice awesome people thanks so much i enjoy my classmates

I *think* I'm at 7, but may feel different once I'm actually climbing. I feel a bit apprehensive about climbing because I realize it involves having more trust in your group. I'm a bit shaky, but I know they won't let me hit the floor if they can prevent it. My expectations are to be able to climb up all the way, successfully, get everyone in the group to actively be involved and have fun while climbing.

Going into the climbing unit I would say that I'm a 5 on it so far. I have climbed in the past and haven't been scared to do it. I hope that I can help people in the same way. I do believe they will because if your able to repel then you can climb.

I would say I am at a 6 or 7. I have climbed a couple times before and I'm pretty excited to do it again in class. But I know that when we get to it..my fear of heights will definitely kick in. But I'm so excited cause I know it will be a step for my group. Through rappelling, we have been able to work together..so I trust my group. I hope that I can be a helpful and encouraging teammate and be challenging myself.

I would say I'm probably at a 7 or 8. I've climbed before but I'm scared of heights so we'll see how that goes. I trust my group a lot so my expectations for myself are to make it to the top and help everyone else in my group get to the top as well.
ReplyDeleteChristina
Im probably a 6. Im really scared of heights. I want to get to the top and i have climbed before so i know i can do it. My expectations are for everyone to trust eachother and to reach the top safely.

9. at certian times like going down face first freaked me out but i knew it wouldnt have been bad. i always have enjoyed climbing and i used to try and go all the time when i was little. i enjoy this unit and my expectations from everyone\my group is to try everything you think you could have done and to trust one another to go down cuz no matter what we would have been able to catch you.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1 to 10, I would say I am at a 8. I am usually not scared of heights, but I started to get a little scared when we started rapelling. At this point, I am not scared but I'm assuming I will get scared when we start. Although I may be scared, I completly trust my climbing group. They would never let me fall. I expect myself to overcome this fear and to encourage others in my group that need it more.
ReplyDeleteKara Priebe
I'd say I'm probably at an 8. I love climbing, but I've never really liked the whole coming down part afterwards. I think I'd like to try to help everyone feel comfortable with each other enough that they could climb without being afraid.

i would have to say im at about an 8. It's not that i dont trust me group, i trust them completly and they do am amazing job making sure i know that, but its more just about myself. it's juwst scasry for me because i dont olike heights and letting go to the rail. my expectations for this unit is to cotinue to build trust with more people in the class, and get over my fears.
ReplyDeletemaybe a 7, im kinda scared because that's just the way i am, but i know nothing will probably go wrong.
ReplyDeletemy expectations is we will keep doing the exact same that we always do

I am at a 7 or 8 because I can't be completely content with climbing with classmates holding me. I expect them to know what they are doing and to pay attention so no one gets hurt while climbing. I've always liked rock clibing so this unit should be fun.
ReplyDeleteGrace Neubauer
I would say i'm at about a 7. Rappeling really scared me so I think it might carry over to this unit. I've gone climbing before though, so i'm less scared then with rappeling. I have a lot of trust in my group. We've grown pretty close throughout the rappeling unit and that's helping become less scared.
ReplyDelete-Jessi J
I think I'm at 6. I trust my group enough to climb, but I don't know if I trust my climbing ability... I've climbed before, but I never made it to the very top, so hopefully, I'll be able to do that. I'm really scared of heights, though, so that'll be something that I have to get over. I'm actually really excited for this unit, especially because I enjoyed rappeling a lot.
ReplyDelete-Eunice
I'm at about a 7. Climbing seems a lot less scary to me than rappelling. I've climbed before so I think that that will be at my advantage. I have also done a high ropes course that is similar to the one in the gymnastics room. I now know my group better so I also think that I will be able to trust them more.
ReplyDelete-Justine
I'm probably about an eight. I'm very willing to climb but I would probably be more comfortable after seeing other people do it. My expectations for me and the class as a whole are hat everyone does the best they can, even when they may have to push themselves past a limit. I want our class to increase our trust in each other.
ReplyDeleteJessica Omark
I think realistically I would be a 7 because I'm real willing to trust but I am super afraid of heights so that woul bring me down to a 7. I think for myself and a's a class, I think we will do well with climbing. They will definitely need to push themselves but I think our trut as a class is really good.
ReplyDelete-Samantha Noga
On a scale of 1-10 im probably a 2, i dont know why im so scared or why i couldnt force myself to do the repeling, so its going to be hard to overcome the fear of climbing, but i can guarentee im going to try to get to my height above the ground =.
ReplyDeletemy expectations for my classmates would be to catch me if im falling haha, but i can see already, even though i havent been in the class all that long, that they are trustworthy and they will catch me. my expectations for myself is to try this and get to my height above ground. PUSH ME TO DO IT H!!!! even if i say i cant, remind me that i told you to push me on the blog.

On a scale from 1-10 I believe I fall in between a 9 or a 10. I love climbing! I'm not really scared of heights. The only reason I say I could fall as 9 is because of trusting fellow students. I do trust everyone in our class however that first time will be scary. I'm super excited to do the climbing unit! - Sarah Scharlau.. I will push you to do it!!
ReplyDeleteChristine Byrne
I would say I'm at 6. I'm not scared of heights but I haven't gone many times to rappel yet. I felt safe when I was rappeling because my group had encouraged me that I'll be ok. My expectations to the next unit are try as many times I could, communictate with others, and have fun climbing!!
ReplyDeleteYurika Shimizu
I would say I am a seven.
ReplyDeleteEven though it is my first time to climb and I have no experience, I can trust my classmates and have some confidence. I would expect to push myself and also encourage others.
I would probably be at a 6, because I'm a little nervous, but I'm confident that my classmates know what they are doing.
ReplyDeleteMy expectations would be that I would do some things that I normally would be too timid to do, and just take risks and encourage others to do so as well.

I would say i''m like about a 8 because ever since i join this class i been looking foward to this trip but doing all the climbing up and down nd face foward got me scared a little. I'm still excited for it because i know i can trust my classmates. My expectations for me is to go out there and help my team and encourage them if there scared to climb, my expectations for my team are 100% positive i know they can do this almost all of us are confident that we will get this and it will be a fun adventure for us.

I'm at a 10, I trust the people around me and I'm looking forward to climbing. I expect us to be able to do this unit with out much trouble because we've been able to repel with out much trouble and this is just another objective that we should be able to learn with out much trouble as well.
ReplyDelete-Matt Bactat
I'm probably at a 10 just because we swept through the rappelling unit and most people were comfortable. Some people wanted it to be more challenging. I expect us, during the climbing unit, to be ready for anything that happens.
ReplyDelete~Khory Wagner
I would give the being scared scale a 9 because of the fact that you had to let go of the rope and let the group hold you from falling. Climbing is a challenge for any of us because it requires so much strength and trust, but it's going really well.
