PE Update: Week Recap & What’s Next
PE Update: Week Recap & What’s Next
This past week, we worked on pitching and batting. We finished the week with slow-pitch softball. Next week, we are hoping to play flag football. Students will be learning about offense, defense, the line of scrimmage, the huddle, and the importance of running routes. Please remind your child to dress for the weather; football is much more fun outside. I would encourage them to have sweatpants, sweatshirts, and old tennis shoes/extra socks as the grass is wet in the mornings, especially. As the fall weather sets in we will see the mornings get brisk, and we will go outside unless it is below 45 degrees. Once winter sets in, we get stuck inside for so long, we want to get as much outside time as we can.
🔍 How PE Performance is Graded
🔍 How PE Performance is Graded
We assess based on these areas:
Hygiene: Dressing out daily (PE shirt, shorts/sweats/leggings, tennis shoes).
Integrity: Following game rules and expectations.
Communication: Using kind words, advocating for needs, and a positive tone.
Safety: Using equipment properly, following directions, and no horseplay.
Participation: Engaging in moderate to vigorous activity. Our goal is for every student to run a 400m lap without stopping by the end of Q1.
Students can use a 10-step rule: walk 10 steps, run as far as possible, repeat as we work on building up cardiovascular endurance. We understand there are different ability levels and healthy progressive training is encouraged.
