families also raise donations for the American Heart Association to help
others’ hearts.
Curriculum Focus
-
Critical Skills - These are catching, throwing, striking,
traveling movements , jumping variations kicking, and balance skills. These
skills are practiced and applied in various games to build a repertoire for
life. Game strategies and rules are learned and developed to help the
mental practice that is need in physical activities and life.
-
Health-related Fitness is 1) Cardiovascular Efficiency; 2)
Body Composition; 3) Flexibility; 4) Muscular Strength; 5) Muscular
Endurance. Develop fitness through exercise, play, assessment and goal
setting. We check our fitness levels by doing curl-ups, push-ups, the
shoulder stretch, trunk lift, and skin fold/BMI and run the PACER. We try
to do enough of each of these exercises to reach the Healthy Fitness Zone of
the Fitness Gram Assessment.
-
So what are you waiting for? Get moving! At
Drachman we’re going to be active and healthy every day. At home and in PE
a great habit for life can be strengthened.
