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:

May
Field Days, Soft Ball and Frisbee
![j0432465[1]](Default_files/image012.gif)
Happy
Easter! It is hard to believe that April is over. May is here and with that, we celebrate
the beautiful springtime weather.
The air outside is turning warmer, but the mornings can still be
cold and sometimes the grass can be wet from the early morning dew.
Please make sure to have your children dress appropriately for P.E.
When we were
inside in April, we bowled through the generous loan of bowling equipment
provided by Severna Park Lanes. When we were outside in April, we ran an
obstacle course or played soccer.
During the
month of May, we will work with Frisbees, and we will play softball. We
will end our month, through a variety of games, with our field days
– these are days of fun for the students. The Primary Field Day is on May
17, 2012. The Intermediate
Field Day is on May 24, 2012 and the Jr. High Field Day is on May 30,
2012. These field days are made up of various stations. The students will have the
opportunity to play various games in a fun, non-competitive
environment. Parents are
welcome to volunteer their time. If you are interested in volunteering,
please send me an email. All
of our volunteers must be STAND trained.
Most
Valuable Player Award
![j0440398[1]](Default_files/image013.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.
