This year as included in the letter to the parents we are going to using the SPARK curriculum. This is an exciting and innovative program that uses many different ways to get your kids moving. The program will cover many different areas starting from the basic fundamentals of learning locomotive skills for our K's all the way up to playing modified sports games. We will be sure to cover as many different areas of physical education as we can in a school year to ensure that the students get as much experience in different activities as possible.
Another component to this years physical education program is we will continue to use the state mandated physical fitness test twice a year on the students. This is called the Fittnessgram. This requires the K-2 students to get their height and weight done only, but 3-5 will be required to perform to a cadence a push up test, curl up test, and the PACER. This is done along with recording their height and weight. All the scores are confidential and I will be the only one that sees these before the data is sent to the state. If there are any questions regarding the Fittnessgram please feel free to contact me.
