September and October

Cooperative Connection, Jump Rope, Double Dutch, Fitness Testing, and Juggling

Cooperative Connection involves learning life time social skills needed to function in our society.  The activities requires the students to learn skills, set goals, solve problems, communicate with others, and apply challenge by choice. In the process, students learn how to reflect on their experiences and gain insights into diversity, personal and social behaviors, and attitudes that they can apply to future settings.  The Cooperative activities are integrated with all other activities taught in PE. Throughout the year Cooperative Connection will be the theme for the school year. 

Jump rope and double dutch skills are presented to help increase the students' cardio vascular endurance and muscular endurance level. Great for the students who took it easy over the summer. 

Fitness testing such as the sit-up and the Pacer test are administered in October.  More fitness testing are given throughout the school year.  Juggling for hand eye coordination.

 

November

Math, Reading, and Writing Integration Activities, Yoga, Fitness Testing (Shuttle Run), Cooperative Connection, and Basketball

Kinesthetic learning is one of many multiple intelligence's of how students learn.  Integrating math, reading, and writing into movement activities in PE can improve and enhance students' learning. Integration of classroom curriculum into PE reinforces what the student has and will learn in the classrooms. 

Introducing Yoga will provide students with writing and flexibility activities.   Introducing and reviewing basketball skills are taught the last week of November.

Washington State Health & Fitness Classroom Based Assessment

In 2004 a new legislation was passed in regards to assessing social studies, the arts, and health/fitness in the state of Washington  (Classroom Base Assessment-CBA's). The CBA are administered to the 5th grade students. The 5th grade student preparation for the assessment will start in January 2008 to April.  Sometime in April the test will be administerd to all 5th graders. The last couple of years I was on the health/fitness CBA commitee in the Highline School District.  If you have any concerns or questions about the CBA please feel free to contact me at school or go into the OSPI Health and Fitness web-page at www.k12.wa.us.

  1. By September 2004, OSPI (Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction) will report on assessment options for socialstudies, the arts, and health/fitness.
  2. By 2005-06, OSPI will provide classroom-based assessment models and other assessment options shall be on the web available for voluntary use.
  3. By 2008-09, school districts shall have assessments or other approved strategies to assure that students have the opportunity to learn the EALR's in social studies, the arts, and health/fitness...school districts shall annually submit an implementation verification report.
