Remember taping Mr. v to the wall?
It's time to get ready for another February which is "Heart Health Month"!
The Kid's Heart Challenge fundraiser for the American Heart Association is a long standing tradition and Mary Scroggs has raised over $130,000 in donations over the years. The Kid's Heart Challenge has provided us with an opportunity to earn thank you gift certificates which has contributed to thousands of dollars in equipment and materials for our P.E. program here at Scroggs. Incentives like "Tape Mr. v to the wall" serve as rewards for our students to celebrate our accomplishments as a school community and to encourage heart health enhancing behaviors. Thanks to everyone who supports the program by registering in support and for volunteering to raise funds through the many tools the KHC provides. This has been a great partnership for our school and I look forward to meeting new goals with our students this year.

Click to view "Train Track" Team Challenge video
The grade five class works as one to create a "train track". The ball can only be touched by players who are on the ground as part of the track. Using hands and feet they control and propel the ball carefully down the track. The ball is very light and reactive so any strong or powerful move will likely send the ball off the track. The team completes a variety of challenges to reach the point in the video where they are able to get the ball all the way around the room without crashing. Students need to show the ability to move and work safely with others as they quickly get up and down in and out of position. Moving the ball too quickly will not allow the players to get up and reset the track in front in time so there's a lot of awareness and communication to make it work.

In all grade levels we practice having a growth mindset.
Our moto is, "We F.A.I.L. before we S.A.I.L.".

Standards Based Assessment in P.E.
Standards Based Assessment in P.E.
Using our assessment board, students can quickly respond to questions using two different magnets. Students each have a classroom number which correlates to the number on each magnet. "Spot Checks" are questions that use small magnets that students place in labeled boxes. QR coded cards are also used by students as they place and turn the card so that the answer choice pointed up, (i.e. A, B, C, D). The cards are housed in a "Hut" with a roof to cover the card when a student is absent or has not answered the question. Using an iPad and an application called Plickers, I can quickly record attendance and student answers into a data base. These methods serve as time efficient pre-assessments and reveal trends about what my students understand about concepts we cover in class so I can better plan units and lessons that meet their needs. The photo shows a typical set of fitness concept questions related to the concept of "vigorous" exercise and gauges their understanding of how much activity is enough and how intense activities should be in order to promote health benefits. The answers help to guide discussions and make connections to activities in class.
