National Standards

Below I am listing the 6 standards set forth by The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE). Each activity that we do in PE will have some relation to at least one of these standards. Many times, our activities will relate to multiple if not all of them. Here they are:

Standard 1- Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical tasks.

Standard 2- Demonstrates understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities.

Standard 3- Participates regularly in physical activity.

Standard 4- Achieves and maintains a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.

Standard 5- Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings.

Standard 6- Values physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction.


Parents, please remember- I see your children 2-3 days a week. You see your kids a lot more. Please, stress the importance of physical activity with your children.

Thanks!

Welcome Back!!

What a great start to the school year! Things have been running very smooth these first few days. Hopefully we can keep it up!

Here are some things on the horizon for PE

1.) Reviewing large group games- we like to start with some of our “rainy day” large group games. They really get the kids excited about PE, and it also give us a chance to review the rules and procedures for each activity.

2.) 3rd – 5th grades: Fitness testing! For the last couple of years Cobb County has been using the Fitness Gram Fitness Test to evaluate our students. You can find information on the series of tests at www.fitnessgram.net We will be recording and tracking the scores for the 4th and 5th grades.

K-2nd grades: Intro to fitness/fitness practice. These grade levels will have practice time with the tests just to get them familiar with the different activities. We are not going to be tracking scores.

Thanks for checking in,

Coach Jones
