7th Grade

Welcome to 7th Grade Physical Education. Students are provided P.E. instruction twice a week for sixty minutes. The program is designed to cover a variety of skill and fitness-related activities to enhance physical well-being. Personal fitness level evaluations on muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, and aerobic capacity are assessed throughout the year including, self-assessments through detailed records and goal setting in personal fitness journals.

Personal Fitness Journals are used throughout the year to keep track of student's fitness level progress, set goals and make adjustments once goals are achieved.

In addition to the various fitness and motor skills students will be assessed on the fitness, health and nutrition relationship to physical activity through various projects. All nutrition and health assignments are meant to build student awareness of their own well-being promoting healthy habits over a lifetime.

This year will also include the California State Fitness Assessment called the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) or FITNESSGRAM. The PFT is given during 5^th, 7^th and 9^th grade Physical Education. This test is designed to assess your child’s physical fitness level. The test increases in difficulty each year.
