About PE at Laurelhurst

Welcome to Physical Education / Health Fitness! Thanks for visiting this site. I have been teaching for over 10 years. I am happy to be here and have worked hard preparing for this year. I learned many new things this summer and the best one was learning to unicycle. I am proud to continue Laurelhurst’s Unicycle Team. Let’s get moving!

Expectations for PE learning and Safety:a

• Be Prepared for Exercise and Learning
• Listen and Follow Directions
• Respect Others
• Use Equipment Properly
• Try Your Best

New Curriculum: Five for Life

This is the SPS new Health and Fitness curriculum. The Five for Life stands for the five components of fitness. They are Cardiorespiratory Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility and Body Composition. This year will be filling with developing these five components and teaching about nutrition, movement, wellness and participating in fitness related activities. My goal is that your students start sharing their learning with you around the dinner table or out running around.

Assessments

• Fitness Testing (Fall and Spring)
• Mile Run
• Sit and Reach Stretch
• Push Ups
• Curl ups
• Body Composition (height and weight)
• 5th Grade Curriculum Based Assessment(CBA) Spring
  

Appropriate Dress for PE

All students are expected to wear athletic type shoes on their PE days, properly laced to allow for running and kicking activities in the Gym or play fields. Thank you for helping support PE by having students dress for movement. Helmets are required for riding bikes, unicycles, scooters, etc. Please have one available for wearing during PE. Cascade Bicycle Club sells helmets for a reasonable price. Cascade is a great source and they make sure they fit properly.
