PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASS!

September in P.E. Class
Welcome Back! Or Welcome to our Kindergarten and New Students! You are going to LOVE Violet!
P.E. Class is one of our special area classes that our children participate in once every third day, so twice every six days. P.E., or any special for that matter, DOES NOT fall on the same day of the week, so look at your child's color schedule in their Violet take home folder to see what special it is for the day. If it is a P.E. day, make sure that they have good running shoes on! It is for their safety and to keep our gym floor looking amazing!
Here is the P.E. schedule:
Yellow and Green Days: Hayden, Morris, Colling Fowler, and Bens
Orange and Violet Days: LaCross, Todd, Shaheen Stasyk, and Husek
Blue and Red Days: Hoehing, Perkins-Rose, Lynch, Pavlovich, and Camaj
So get those tennis shoes on and let's have some FUN!
This year's theme in P.E. is: MOVIN' and GROOVIN'!
Our focus will be on the 3 Types of Exercise: Muscular Strength, Aerobic Endurance, and Flexibility. With that, students in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade will be tracking their performance in these areas in their P.E. Portfolios, using the standards from FITNESSGRAM. We will be practicing jogging (running endurance) every month, to improve our Mile Jog score from Fall to Spring. We will be working on our techniques in the Push Up and Curl Up every month, trying to increase our performance. Finally, we will be doing the Sit and Reach each month to further our stretch and flexibility. Our goal will be to improve each time, but especially from Pre to Post Test, or Fall to Spring results. I know we will get better each time!
My OPEN HOUSE PACKET is attached below. Please read it if you didn't receive one at Open House. Thanks!!!!
Procedures In P.E.
The first few times, students will be learning about my class, procedures, and expectations. We will be playing tag games, relay races, and other games in between while listening to our favorite Kidz Bop songs!
Unit: The Mile Jog/Fitness Testing
Violet students will complete the Mile Jog for the first time this year. All students 1st - 5th grade will be running the track 8 times to complete a mile. Kindergarten will be running a few laps on the track
to become familiar with it and aerobic endurance!
We will also be completing the Fitnessgram sheets in our P.E. Portfolios to complete the year: Curl Ups; Push Ups; the Mile Jog time; and the Sit and Reach flexibility test; and each child's height and weight.
Soccer Instep Kick
Along with The Mile Jog and Fitness Testing, we will be working on a Soccer Unit, specifically the Instep Kick: Hitting a target, foot placement correct, and using POWER.
Students will be evaluated on this skill at the end of the unit and we will play a Sideline Soccer game in grades 3,4, and 5.
Go SOCCER PLAYERS!
Grading in P.E. Class
Kindergarten NOT graded in Specials Classes
Students can earn the following scores:
4 = Examplary
3 = Proficient
2 = Partially Proficient
1 = Not Proficient
Students are graded on each skill that we complete in class, and for the report card,
are also graded on Effort and Violet's Lifeskills.
Students have two Target Goals in every P.E. class to accomplish, along with learning the importance of our LIFESKILLS, Lifelong Guidelines, and The 7 Habits of Happy Kids. These social aspects are just as important as the motor and sports skills learned in Physical Education class, as our students learn to be a responsible, caring All Stars!
I am SO EXCITED to be your child's/children's Physical Education Teacher!
I look forward to another incredible year with you all!
