Physical Education at PS 101
As per the Federal Standard for Physical Education – I will provide a safe learning environment for the students of P.S. 101. Each child will become physically fit and understand the importance of fitness and good health . Each child will become more mobile and agile but most important of all my goal * is creating a healthier future that will lead to healthy way of life.
In the age where computers dominate our world , I feel as an educator that we forget that children need to become and remain as active as possible.
The NYS Fitness-gram is an excellent monitor and measurement used for the 4th and 5th Grade . The lower grades at 101 work on hand –eye coordination and motor skills along with social skills . Here at P.S. 101 we offer a cheer-leading team , basketball team (the Vikings) and a Friday morning Intra-Mural sports program as well . My goal is fitness here. The students learn about hygiene and health as well .
My goals for the year – is that every child that finishes my program has a solid understanding of fitness , health and hygiene that they will take with them onto their next year of learning . My expected student outcomes are for the students of P.S. 101 to have a serious understanding and desire for exercise , fitness , health and hygiene. This year I am incorporating reading and literacy as a side venture to the Phys Ed Program so we can help expand the importance of reading to our students. I will utilize the Power to Learn Program.
