Week 1:  During the first week of PE we will start by learning rules, routines, and procedures that will be using in my class.  We will be covering how to be safe in the gym with various safety rules as well as how to respect one’s self, respect others, and to respect the equipment/gym.  We will also be starting our first unit, which is our teamwork and cooperative games unit.  Students will have to work together to complete challenges, activities, and various games. We also will learn how the five health-related fitness components (body composition, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, muscular endurance, and muscular strength) affect ability to participate normally in everyday activities.  This week we will also be learning/reviewing how to accurately take a pulse at rest and during exercise.

Week 2:  In week two we will start our throwing, catching, and defending unit where students will learn the basic understanding of the knowledge of strategies in activity settings such as moving to open space to receive a pass or intercepting an object.  Students will analyze and use basic offensive and defensive strategies, and apply rules in modified games and activities.  Also how to analyze and correct errors in movement patterns, and provide and use feedback from a peer.  We will also be learning how to identify and demonstrate exercises that are used to develop agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, or speed, and learning about the FITT principle (frequency, intensity, time, type).

Week 3:  This week students will be starting their soccer unit.  We will focus on learning the correct ways to pass and dribble a ball with the feet, as well as the basic rules of soccer.  This unit will also cover basic defending offensive strategies as well as analyzing and or correcting errors when dribbling/kicking with the feet.  This week we will also start our Presidential Fitness Testing which will be analyzing/measuring students, endurance, upper body strength, abdominal strength, and flexibility. 

Week 4:  In the 4th week of PE students will be starting the striking unit.  During this unit students will be using striking skills to participate in various activities/games in order to strike an object consistently, using a body part and an implement so that the object travels in the intended direction at the desired height.  This week students will also learn how to accurately identify activities that are aerobic and anaerobic, and determine the intensity of personal physical activity using the concept of perceived exertion.  Also we will discuss how to correctly differentiate the body’s response to physical activities of various exercise intensities.
