Rules
and Expectations
![j0438591[1]](Default_files/image004.jpg)
P.E. is a course that requires
active participation on the role of the student in a setting that is
supportive of their regular curriculum. Students are given opportunities
for enjoyment and challenge while showcasing their unique abilities.
Students are expected to come to class prepared to demonstrate good
sportsmanship, teamwork and class participation while respecting others
in the class with different levels of abilities.
Students will be asked to
participate in team sports and in activities that promote individual
fitness and health. Examples
of units that focus on team sports are football, speedball, soccer,
baseball, basketball and volleyball.
Units that focus on the individual may include track and field
events, physical fitness tests and health units.
Students will be evaluated on how
well they participate in the activity of the day; the effort and attitude
they display in class, their behavior in class and how consistent they
are in their attempts to perform the targeted skill. In order for everyone to enjoy
P.E., students are expected to behave accordingly. This means that students need to
treat each other with respect, take part in the activity, use appropriate
language, use the equipment carefully, demonstrate safety and show good
sportsmanship.
Students will earn performance
points in P.E. based on the following criteria:

January
Sprints, Relay Races, Tag Games, and large Group Games.
![j0432465[1]](Default_files/image009.gif)
Welcome to 2012! Christmas is over and it is time
to celebrate 2012 - the new year has begun. May this year bring you many
blessings, peace and prosperity. The air outside is cold, windy and
brisk. Please make sure to have your children dress appropriately for
P.E. Some students are not
bringing the appropriate outdoor gear on the days that they have P.E. and
their hands are getting cold. The students should bring winter coats,
gloves and hats, if needed.
We will continue to be outside for P.E. whenever possible, weather
permitting. During the month of December we played Duck, Duck, Santa, the
Grinch who Stole Christmas, Flag Tag, Football, and Capture the Holy
Grail. When we were inside we had Christmas tree relay races using
scooters and, we played floor hockey.
During the month of January our
lessons will begin with a warm-up run followed by stretching. We will
focus on activities that involve movement and we will be playing games
that involve large team sports. During these cool days of January, we
will often be running outside.
We will continue to play games of tag, as part of our warm-up
games. The activities for these days of winter will involve using your
running skills while passing and catching a ball through games like
Capture the Holy Grail, Swamp Ball or dribbling a ball through Basketball
or soccer games. We will build forts and have “snowball”
games that involve dodging, fleeing and eluding dodge balls. Not only are
we learning how to run with a ball, but we are staying warm while
outside. If we are inside we will be playing Jenga,
floor hockey, and having scooter relay races,
and other games on and off a scooter. The primary grades will also work
with hula hoops. Once they
have mastered this skill, we will have a hula hoop war – a tag game
that focuses on walking with a hula hoop.
Most
Valuable Player Award
![j0440398[1]](Default_files/image011.gif)
There are some students in each
class that need to be singled out for special recognition. The Most Valuable Player is a
student who shows good sportsmanship, treats others with respect, is a
team player, and comes to class prepared to participate fully in the
activity of the day. All
students have different levels of ability. The MVP Player works to the
fullest level of their ability.
