The goals this curriculum set out to develop in a Catholic environment are:
 Say a group prayer before or after each class
 The enjoyment of physical activity. We want the learners
 Gaining movement skills and knowledge through instruction and assessment
 Enjoying peer acceptance through good sportsmanship
 Prioritizing participant enjoyment and safety over winning
 Developing a positive self-image and self-realization by involving each student as often as possible
 Understanding health-related & skill-related fitness for life-long participation

This FUN progressive curriculum allows children the opportunity for full and satisfying participation while encouraging them to fully demonstrate their potential. Individual participation is prioritized by stretching during each class meeting.
Skill and movement patterns are emphasized in second through fourth grade. Our curriculum goal is designed to meet or exceed the California Physical Education Content Standards. We have implemented C.A.T.C.H. Physical Education (Coordinated Approach to Children’s Health). Our program consists of skill related and health related fitness activities.

Physical Education Rules:
 Have Fun!
 Play Hard - Play Fair - Play Safe!
 Follow safety rules. (Wearing jewelry is prohibited, except post earrings)
 Shorts must be worn to waist level (especially the boys) and the shorts may not be rolled up at the waist or worn too high (especially the girls), all uniform policies and decisions are made at the discretion and judgment of the Physical Education Department and Principal
 During the winter month‘s students may wear the designated school sweats.
 Closed toe athletic shoes, laced up and tied, are required for all PE classes.
 Children are accountable for any work or information missed while absent.
 If your child is ill or injured, a note from the doctor, parent or guardian is necessary. They will then be involved by limited-participation or observation, depending on their needs.

Grading policy:
Scores are weighed in two areas to determine the final grade. Warnings are given before scores begin to drop.
The two areas are:
Participation 80% Classwork 20%
Intensity Cooperation Skill Routines
Preparedness Fitness Knowledge Assignments
Daily Points: The daily grade given to each learner will be based upon these factors and deductions will be made for those
students who do not meet these requirements. Each day learners can earn up to 10 points
1. Participation in the activity (3pts)
2. Behavior (3pts)
3. Following uniform guidelines (2pts)
4. Participating in warm-ups (2pts)

Injuries/ Sickness/ Medicals:
Any condition that requires a learner to sit out of PE activities must have a parent signed note, or e-mail to excuse for that day. If there is a recurring problem with a student missing due to notes, it may require a change in grading criteria or a conference with a parent to remedy any issues that may arise. A parent note is good for only three days of excused physical education. A doctor‘s note is needed for any extended period of time beyond that. If a learner has forgotten a note and is not feeling well, please have them communicate with the school nurse or me. While sitting out, the learner will be assigned a task
(scorekeeper, timer, written assessment, etc.). During class students must notify the teacher immediately of any injury that occurs during class, even if they are still able to participate. During a medical absence, the student is responsible for all assignments or information given out in class. Learners sitting out for an extended time will be given an alternative assessment to receive a grade for the unit.

Race to 100 Catches - OPTIONAL PHYSICAL EDUCATION ENRICHMENT

Hello everyone - its time to race!
 
Race to 100 catches involves 10 household items that are safe to catch (list provided if you want to use what we did). You will need to set up a "net" that you can toss the items over. We used two chairs and a broom. Please see the attachment with pictures and a video of what we used to toss and how we set up our "net" with household items. If you don't have a broom & chairs you can just use a towel or blanket on the ground to toss over. Just as long as there is a barrier between you and your partner. You may also complete this assignment by yourself by self-tossing and catching the items. The race is to see how fast you can catch all 10 items, 10 times each, to make 100 catches total. Feel free to send a video/picture or tell us about the items you picked and how long it took you to complete the race!
 
Have fun and check out Mrs. Beane completing the assignment. The video is in the attachment!

Monday April 27th, 2020 - Deck of Cards
 
Hello Everyone!

Please see the attached document for instruction.This "deck of cards" activity would be fun to include a family member to participate with you. You can choose your own exercises or use the ones that we have recommended for you. This is all about being active and challenging yourself, so if the exercises are easy you can change them to harder more challenging exercises that you know. For example, instead of crunches you could do a plank or instead of air squats you could do alternating lunges.

Please feel free to email us a picture or video of you completing the assignment. Have fun!

Monday April 20th - Hit The Trail Activity! 
 
Time to "hit the trail" and get creative!
 
Attached are pictures of exercises you can put up around the house. Each time you go to a certain place in your house like the couch or your desk, tape a picture of an exercise to the item and when you go to sit on the couch or your desk chair, you must complete the exercise first. 
 
Another example would be the fridge, before you open the fridge you must complete the exercise and then open the fridge. We have ten different pictures attached of exercises you can post to ten different areas in your house. You can choose your own places you put the pictures or you can follow along our "trail" that we have created in the attachment. 
 
At any time your parents can say "hit the trail" and you must complete all the exercises throughout your house! Have fun and enjoy! We miss you SO much! 
 
Friday April 24th - Fun Day Friday!
 
Choose ONE of the five activities listed below. 

* Toss a stuffed animal or ball in the air over your head 20 times. Then play hot potato with your family. Pass or toss the object randomly to the group while someone plays music. If you have the object in your hands when the music stops, do 10 rocket blasters and you control the music for the next game.
* Do push ups (wall, hands on edge of chair/couch or on the floor) while reciting the Hail Mary prayer
* Play "follow the leader". Take turns being the leader and directing a family member(s) to match your every move. Movement ideas include skip, hop, crawl, gallop, run, walk, jump or whatever.
* Give stretching a try. Just like in our warm-up or cool down, see if you can think of a stretching routine to do to help you warm-up for an activity or cooling down after a hard workout.
* Make an obstacle course outside or inside your house. Challenge each family member to see who can complete the course the fastest.
