First 9 weeks 

For all Grade levels---this 9 weeks---we focus on classroom procedures (walking the blue line, jogging (slow steady pace), freezing on the whistle, squad spots, tennis shoe points, stretching, and warm ups).   

Our main SKILL focus for the first 4 weeks is Locomotor Skills--I want them to learn the definition (ways that our feet, move our body from one place to another), examples (walk, jog, skip, hop, jump, gallop, etc), and understand what activities we are doing to practice these skills!   Our 2nd focus is doing our 4 baselines that will be used throughout the year to set goals and reach those goals---hula hoop, sit ups, jogging, and sprinting

Week 1--Classroom procedures, whistle cues, squad spots, start stretching routine, free dance, Octopus Tag, team Hoop activity.   With 1st grade...we talk about safety...Learning how to move safely in all areas, how to use equipment safely, etc.   Homework is sent home---to bring in or email a picture of them doing something active over the summer.  Hula Hoop and Jump rope baseline assessments. 

Week 2--Review Classroom procedures.    Teach the isolation/dance warm up!  

1st Jogging assessment---Red, Yellow, Green (they jog until I stop them at GREEN---if they stop sooner than my whistle they get red or yellow...the goal is to jog as long as they can without stopping or walking---the goal is not to go as fast as you can on this assessment but to jog at a slow steady pace for the allotted amount of time).  We go into more depth on locomotor skills---checking for understanding of the definition, examples, and activities!  We continue the team hoop activity.  Introduce the Rock, Paper, Scissors hula hoop hop game.  For 2nd grade we focus even more on pacing , breathing techniques, pushing ourselves, and trying our best!

Week 3--Jogging assessment Make-Ups.  Start checking for mastery of locomotor skills.  continue rock, paper, scissors game.  PE talk---pacing (slow steady pace) and controlling your breathing while jogging.  Introduce Hula Hooping, Jumping the hoops, and rock and roll the hoops!  I call each student up 1 at a time and ask them to  verbally give me any part of the locomotor skills definition they can remember (when our feet move our body from one place to another) and also giving me 3-5 examples.  Sprinting assessments. 

Wednesdays---weeks 1, 2, and 3---Teach/review Hula hoops, jump rope hoops, and roll hoops.  Team building activities

Week 4--Finish verbally checking for mastery of locomotor skills.   We do our sprint pre-assessment...shifting our focus to...running as fast as you can!  We finish up our locomotor unit.  At the end they do freeze dance, octopus tag, rock paper scissors hula hoop hop game, and hula hut dodgeball.  

Week 5 starts our Hand Eye Coordination Unit and also they are taught our stations rotations for PE

Adding in donkey kicks, mountain climbers, bear crawl

Wednesdays---weeks 4, 5, 6, 7---Finish all locomotor skills assessments, finish all baselines, finish team building, make sure that all classes have gotten instruction on hula hoop, jump, roll!  Kickball---learning the basics of offense (kick the ball and run the bases, and defense (catch the ball, tag, get the outs!)

Week 5--Introduction to Hand Eye Coordination (when our hands and our eyes work together)  With 2nd grade...I want them to remember the words scarves, balloons, hand eye coordination, and toss and catch!  

Hand eye coordination stations to review from last year!  

Week 6--We begin our volleyball lesson---continuing hand eye coordination.  We review controlling the toss and catch with the volleyball.  2.1.9.A 

Learning the cues of volleyball passing---feet apart, arms straight, hands together, thumbs flat, use forearms, get low, bend and reach, don't swing     2.1.14.A

Individual...learn the cues with teacher followed by practicing against the wall

Partner...1 partner at a time---5 each partner and then attempt to pass back and forth without stopping

Group...put into groups of 4---counting passes,  setting and reaching goals, working together, supporting each other

Week 7---Review passing---self, wall, partner, group

If the class is ready---I will teach volleyball setting but they get easily confused so I don't push it---I would rather they master passing

Week 8---Jogging test #2---1st chance to level up to BLUE---red, yellow, green, blue

Finish up volleyball with passing practice and try serving the ball----hand eye coordination verbal quiz

Week 9---Jogging test make ups----hand eye coordination quiz make ups---
