OUES Physical Education The OUES Physical Education program is designed to help students discover activities that they enjoy and will continue as they reach adulthood. Maximum participation is emphasized over skill performance and competition. Each student will experience success at his or her own level. I want them to recognize that adopting a physically active lifestyle is fun and contributes to success in other areas of life. In addition to fitness and general game activities, the students will practice fundamental skills in the following units: soccer, softball, basketball, gymnastics, lacrosse, jump rope, volleyball, flag football, dance, hula hoops, etc. The students will also learn health and fitness concepts associated with nutrition, basic safety practices, body systems, drug education, and disease prevention.

3 rd and 4 th graders will be assessed throughout the year using Fitness.

3 rd and 4 th graders will be assessed throughout the year using Fitness. Gram. A child’s grade will not be affected by his or her performance on the tests. The purpose of Fitness. Gram is to identify each student’s strengths and areas needing improvement. I encourage them to try their best and do not want the assessments to create anxiety. A summary of the results will be sent home at the end of the year in an informative format. Daily Class Routine: 1. ASAP activity 2. Announcements/Review of concepts 3. Warm-up Activity 4. Skill teaching/Fitness Instruction 5. Skill practice/Lead-up Game 6. Review of the Day Special Events and Activities: Jogging Club (2 nd-4 th grades, during the PE class); Jump Rope for Heart (Feb); Field Day (May); PE Buddies (ongoing, 3 rd grade only)
