279 Physical Education Curriculum Goal Statement
The purpose of physical education is to provide
students the opportunity to acquire the skills needed to make positive choices
about a healthy, physically active lifestyle.
The Oak View Physical Education Staff welcomes you and
we look forward to working with your children. Students attend physical
education every other day for thirty minutes in grades 4-6. During this
time we will be working on the physical education themes of: Body Control,
Fitness, Propelling, Receiving, and Striking.
Oak View Physical Education staff is as
follows:
Joan Broadrick - Grades 6
Ruth Fornasiere - Grades 4, 5
Michelle Sibinski - Grades 4, 6
In addition, our staff also teaches various sections of Developmental/Adapted
Physical Education (D/APE).
Reminders:
·
We would like to remind families that students are to wear appropriate tennis shoes
during class - no platform shoes or hiking boots please.
Students may want to keep a pair of tennis shoes at school in their
lockers for this purpose.
·
Roller shoes are not acceptable physical education shoes.
·
During the fall we do go outside for class so please make sure
students have warm clothing to comfortably participate.
·
Keep the Health Services Specialist informed of any medical needs
that your child may have.
·
Any child needing to
be excused from physical education activity will need a parent note indicating
the reason. Extended time out of
class requires a doctor's note.

Teaching
Fair Play
11 Sportsmanship Tips You can Teach Your Child
- Offer
praise and encouragement for effort, even if your child makes a mistake.
- Offer
constructive criticism and help your child practice skills.
- Remember
that your child is playing the sport not you.
- Try
not to impose your goals or standards on your child.
- Applaud
good plays by both teams.
- Give
a compliment when your child shows good sportsmanship.
- Emphasize
that "having fun is number one."
- Don't
yell at coaches, referees, or players.
This distracts the players and sets a poor example.
- Never
try to take the place of the coach or referee.
- Avoid
blaming the refs, the weather, or anyone else if your child's team loses.
- Teach your child to encourage and support players who need a little help and to acknowledge their efforts.
