8th Grade Personal Choice in PE

8th graders are close to completing their  personal choice projects. Students have explored different activities of their interest and picked an activity to develop a skill specific goal around. Students have been self directed learners in monitoring their goals, completing action steps and improving on their skills along the ways. It has been great to see so much improvement over the last few weeks and students engaged, physically active, and invested in their learning!

Kindergarten Learning how to underhand throw!

Kindergarten students have begun practicing a new skill of underhand throwing. They have been focusing on bring their arm back, stepping with the opposite foot and following through. Students started throwing at a non moving target and then advanced to tossing with a partner. They worked on aiming, making sure their partner was ready, and eye contact!

PLICKERS in PE

Middle School students have been using plickers as an exit card in PE. Each student is assigned a number and they adjust the card by turning to give their answer choice. I have been able to have students self assess, gather feedback, check for understanding, and track engagement levels all in record time! Student data can also be tracked throughout units! Plickers have been a great addition to the classroom!

Personal Choices Projects in PE

Middle school students have been working on transferable skills in PE through a personal choice activity. Students are becoming self directed learners and are taking responsibly for their well being through choice activities. Students are spending 3 weeks exploring activities including: dance, yoga, biking, golf, skateboarding, volleyball, basketball, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse and many more. After week three students choose an activity to explore in greater detail where they will make a skill specific goal to monitor. Students have done a great job taking responsibility for their learning and improving their wellness at the same time!
