Between May 8-26 we will be learning about pedestrian safety in addition to rolling on bikes.  In order to assist all students in their learning, it will be very beneficial to have volunteers to help with each 3rd-5th grade class. 

Are you available to help out?  Please email me at bcveleber@seattleschools.org if you're able to volunteer to assist with this unit!

Thank you!

Grades 3-5 will be assessed on their knowledge of 9 muscle groups (Biceps, Triceps, Pectorals, Deltoids, Latissimus Dorsi, Hamstrings, Gluteals, Quadriceps, and Abdominals) and their function this week.  Below are the highlighted days that each class will have the assessment, taken on their iPad.  We used the "Muscle Poem" to help us and it is posted under "Documents and Videos".

• Muscle Movement Assessment:  9 Muscle groups and their function (see poem in documents to help recall)
  
• Bone Health and Assessment: Why is it important to understand how your bones and muscles work?  How do bones and muscles impact your fitness performance?  How do bones and muscles help me move? 
  
• Circuit Training and Fitness Activities
• Goal Setting Review: Why do we set goals?  How can goals impact my fitness? How can goals impact my motor skills? How does it feel to reach your goals?
  
• Fitness Assessment check in: Are you on your way to meeting your goal?
  
• Continue Volleyball Skills: Bump, Set, Serve, underhand strike, modified volleyball games
  
• Rock Wall
• Pedometer Use
• Locomotor Skills: Jump, Hop, Gallop, Skip, Walk, Chase, Flee
• Non-Locomotor Skills: Twist, Turn, Curl
• Motor Skills: Throwing and Catching
• Routines and expectations in PE to ensure safety, learning, and fun for all.
• Expected Behavior to increase safety, learning, and fun for all.

*These are our learning targets and though we hope to accomplish it all, occasionally we need to be flexible and continue working on a skill or concept.

 Do you have extra time on your hands?  QAE PE is in need of volunteers to help with replacing pedometer batteries!  Please email me at bcveleber@seattleschools.org if you'd like to help!  Thank you!
