Physical Education class is sometimes the only physical activity students get throughout the day. Did you know that children today spend a total of 7.5 hours in front of a screen? OR that only 1 in 3 children are active every day? Physical activity is so important and healthy lifestyles are created at an early age.
Check out my webpage for some interesting links about making healthy choices.

Also take time read about physical activity guidelines from the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition.

Fall is upon us!!
Both the calendar and the weather are telling us its finally fall... Just as a reminder please bring warm clothes because we do intend to go outside for P.E whenever possible. Also remember it is nice to have a spare pair of socks, just in case they get wet outside.
Intermediate P.E (4th-6th grade):
We are currently in the heart of our football unit. Passing, catching, centering, and even developing the idea of offense and defense. In the coming days, we will move into small group football games to expand on all the football skills and concepts.
Primary P.E (K-3rd grade)
Throwing and catching have taken up much of our time over the last week as we continue to develop hand-eye coordination. Some groups have been using bean bags while others have used soft dodgeballs and even footballs.
Congrats to all students as we completed our mile/half mile run last week. Great job!!! All students will be completing the remaining physical fitness tests over the next couple weeks.
Stay active:)

Off and Running!
Week two, is coming to and end... It is amazing how each day seems to fly by!! We are off to a great start in both Morning Movers and P.E.
Morning Movers is a program that started 4 years ago to incorporate more physical activity into the school day. Morning Movers take place from 7:45 to 8:00 a.m each day for students in Kindergarten through Sixth grade. Students who arrive at school before 8:00 a.m. are to drop off their school bag and head out to the playground to walk or jog a predetermined path. This program moves inside if it is raining and each grade level is designated to walk or jog in the gym depending on the day. Please remember we will even head outside in the snow, so bring your boots this winter.
In P.E we have begun our soccer unit. Unfortunately, the weather has not cooperated very well and we have been inside part time. Passing/kicking, dribbling, goaltending, and teamwork are currently being discussed in most classes with our youngest groups focusing first on the gross motor movement of kicking. We are looking forward to getting outside for the remainder of our soccer unit and the start of our physical fitness testing. Have a great week and feel free to be in touch!

Here I am, preparing for school and embarking on a new journey.... blogging. It is not a new sport, activity, board game or manipulative. Instead, it is a new fangled way of keeping in touch with students, parents, teachers, and people in general. I look forward to posting regularly about physical education in Maple Lake, but be patient as there will be a few hiccups along the way. Happy reading!!
