CHELDELIN MIDDLE SCHOOL

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

SKILLS

Students at the 6th grade level will be given numerous opportunities to properly use equipment while being introduced to skills needed to participate in team and individual sports.  Beginning through advanced skills will be taught and examined due to the wide variety of student experience.  Modified or lead-up activities will be played, along with a generous sampling of the real game. Lifetime activities will also be introduced.  Surrounding these experiences will be an emphasis on social skills and a fun and caring atmosphere.  Steps to Respect Level Three dealing with Bullying and Harassment will be taught and practiced throughout the year.

Students at the 7th grade level will continue to learn and develop skills in team and individual sports with emphasis being on skill development and game play.  Lifetime activities will be developed further.

Students at the 8th grade level will concentrate on mastery and strategy skills of lifetime activities, team and individual sports.  Students will also be given the opportunity to develop their own fitness plan, with goal setting involved.

CONCEPTS
The following skills will be Introduced (6th) Developed (7th) or Mastered (8th) during the student's Physical Education program:
  1. Learn how to show Respect
  2. Learn Socially Appropriate Skills
  3. Learn how to give and receive Support
  4. Bullying and Harassment
  5. Increase Self Control
  6. Increase Cooperation
  7. Learn Effective Communication
  8. Listen and Follow Instruction
  9. Goal setting
  10. Teamwork
  11. Fitness concepts (heart rates, target heart rates and self monitoring)
  12. Muscle awareness, identification and appropriate stretches
  13. Skill development in team and individual skills
             

GOALS

             

Our goals in physical education is to turn kids onto fitness and physical education. To get students to believe that physical education is fun. To have students gain an appreciation of movement through lifetime activities, individual and team sport skills. To learn healthy lifestyles which will create a fully rounded individual is also an important aspect of our physical education program.

We'd like students to enjoy physical education in middle school so they will elect to take P.E. in high school, and to continue with a healthy lifestyle throughout their life.

Parent Information Form

EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT CHELDELIN!

DRESSING DOWN:

In PE, the clothing we wear is our "equipment" for class, ie., our shirt is our notebook, shorts are our pencil, and shoes are our calculator. Therefore, dressing down for class is how students show us they have "come to class prepared" for working. Three or more no dresses in a 9 week period will result in noon detention.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER CLOTHING:

BEING ON TIME TO THE LOCKER ROOM, AND ALSO THE PE STATION EACH DAY

GRADING:

At Cheldelin we grade on a A-F system of RESPONSIBILITY, NOT SKILL LEVEL.

The following 3 items account for the PE grade.

  1. FULLY PARTICIPATING IN WARM-UP ACTIVITIES EACH DAY
  2. FULLY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY/GAME EACH DAY
  3. MEETING THE TEACHER'S STANDARD FOR PASSING SKILL AND WRITTEN TESTS

Final grades are calculated each nine weeks by the following scale:

Middle school Physical Education continues to work towards mastery of basic movement skills through the use of warm-up and game activities.  It is NOT recess or free play time.  Team sports dominate our offerings with badminton, table tennis, track and field and other activities as being part of our curriculum.  Unit length is 10 to 11 school days, with some instructors extending that time when space and time permit.  

Each teacher approaches skill groupings differently, but classes are usually mixed in skill levels.  Students should expect to work with and outside their own particular skill group throughout the year.  Teachers almost always make up teams or groups for daily activities and most ask boys and girls to work together.  GOOD SPORTSPERSONSHIP and COOPERATION are daily goals for all students to meet.

Showers are not required, however time is allowed for this process.  We recommend students to bring a towel for use in the fall and spring as we tend to get some warm days.  Towels should be kept in the student's hall locker.

Students that are well enough to be at school are USUALLY well enough to participate in class to some extent.  Teachers at Cheldelin will gladly alter participation for a student who is not feeling well.  We like to keep our students in class and not have the librarian responsible for them in most cases.  If your student is going to need an extended excuse from activity (more than 3 days) they are required to bring a doctor's note and they are scheduled into the library for a study hall.  Basically, we ask that you give the teaching staff flexibility in modifying your child's activity level if they are not feeling well, INSTEAD of excusing them TOTALLY from activity.

Locker Room Facilities

Girls are provided baskets and locks.  Girls can supply their own lock if they wish. All items brought to class should be LOCKED UP during her P.E. class period.  To replace a LOST LOCK students will pay a $4.00 fee.

Boys have a basket on a rolling cart.  There is no lock available unless the student brings one from home.  Any valuables SHOULD be left in the the P.E. office during his P.E. class period.  

We ask that students not wear JEWELRY during their P.E. period.  This is a safety concern.  Security of jewelry is the student's responsibility.  It should be kept in their hall locker or kept at home.

We hope your student is looking forward to their middle school experience and to P.E. in particular.  If you have any questions or need more information, contact your student's P.E. teacher

Cooperative Learning

COOPERATIVE LEARNING IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

INTRODUCTION:

Cooperative learning is a teaching strategy in which students work in small teams to accomplish set tasks or goals.

You can use cooperative learning for creating an anticipatory set by brainstorming components of a topic prior to teacher lecture, to review material, solve problem topics or issues, for breaking groups up into teams, or providing a setting where a student can instruct another student in a non threatening environment.

GROUPING STUDENTS:

SIMPLE/BEGINNING OF THE YEAR GROUPING.

At the beginning of the school year you can break students up into groups of two by gender. A boy and a girl cooperative learning team works well together. If their is not enough of the opposite gender students available, try and match up two boys or two girls that are not obvious friends. Friends tend to socialize more than work on the assigned topic.

THE SOCIO-GRAM FOR GROUPING LATER IN THE YEAR.

About two months into the school year students should be regrouped into cooperative learning teams by the use of a socio-gram.  Two months usually gives students enough time to create friendships within the class, which is a prerequisite to the socio-gram. You want to try and find the more social students and match them up with the less social ones. You are using cooperative learning for teaching appropriate social skills as well as what was mentioned earlier.

Give each student a pencil and a piece of paper. Have students put their name and period in the appropriate place. Create a scenario such as: "You are going to have a birthday party and you may invite four or five people from this class to be there. I'm sure most of you do not dislike or have a conflict with anyone in this class, but if there is someone you have difficulty working with, write their name on the back of your paper.

Tally the number of votes per student. Make a column of names on one side of a piece of paper for the boys, and on the other side of the paper a column for the girls. Make sure and put the names in hierarchy of votes, high to low. Draw a line to divide the class equally in half from top to bottom. Draw a line from one student from below the line to a student of the opposite gender which is above the line. Take into consideration the "Difficulty students" . Do not place these students together.

Other considerations and general rules to follow when doing a socio-gram:

1.  Try and not place students together that have tally marks at far ends of the spectrum above /below the line, Todd has 2 and Kim has 9. Try and keep a two or three difference in score, or as close as possible, remembering that they must come from opposite sides of the center lines. Just do the best that you can.

2.  You should place a student that gets a zero vote with the opposite gender student that receives the most votes. This is the only situation that this should be done. The zero student will become more popular because they are forced to associate with a very popular person.

3.  Only place same gender students together that you trust.

4.  If you have an odd number, only place a third into a group that you trust. And the most important rule, the odd gender student must sit in the middle. Boy-girl-boy, or girl-boy-girl.

5.  I do not put students together if they have indicated that they have problems with another student. 

SETTING THE STUDENTS UP

Set your students up socially for success. Tell the students how to receive their new cooperative learning partner just before you read off their names. Role playing works well for demonstration purposes.  Say something like... "oh yuck! Not him! He stinks and is ugly!"   This gives the students an idea how not to respond to their new partner, as this is an important time for the teams.

BONDING ACTIVITIES

Bonding activities are designed to get the new groups acquainted. Bonding activity should be done on the day of the placing of partners into groups. Bonding activities could be:

  1. Think of a favorite sport or activity that is common to both of you.
  2. Think of a favorite food that is common to both of you.
  3. Where is your groups favorite vacation spot.
  4. Draw a picture of your partners favorite things/activities.

You can really come up with anything that gets the groups to converse and find common threads between the two.

USING COOPERATIVE LEARNING

Teachers can begin a cooperative learning activity by saying, "Get with your cooperative learning partner, have a seat over here, and start discussing the proper mechanics of the basketball set shot." The teacher could also say, "Get with your cooperative learning partner, come over here and have a seat, and try and come up with as many of the classroom rules as you can." Once the teams are getting together, Students are instructed from the beginning of the year that if their cooperative learning partner is not present, to immediately come to the teacher for temporary placement on another team for the day by choosing of the teacher. Again, its important for you to pick a team that you feel the person would work well with. Occasionally two students will come up to the teacher saying that their partner is absent and that they would really like to work together---that tends to signify that work is not their top priority. The teacher should place these students with teams of two that he/she trusts, with the opposite gender in the middle.

LENGTH OF PARTNERS

Cooperative learning partners are not used every day, so changing the partners using existing or new sociogram data every 3 or 4 months is appropriate.
