MESSAGE TO PARENTS:
I would like to begin by saying thank you to all parents who have taken the time to seek out this website. This page is designed to give parents full access to what their child is learning in their Physical Education class. If you would like to see specifically what your son or daughter is being asked to do this week, you can look at the page titled ”Digital Agenda.” The digital agenda page will give you a direct link to our Google Classroom, which is where all of our digital assignments are posted. There will also be a description of which California state standard we are addressing that day, and how we are accomplishing this. My personal goal for TEACH Academy of Technologies Physical Education class is to instill an understanding of why regular physical activity is essential to living a long and healthy life. What will my child be learning in their Physical Education class? -General health concepts -Evaluations of their personal health and fitness levels -Daily choices that effect their health -Muscular strength exercises -Muscular endurance exercises -Stretching routines -Postural correction exercises -And more! New exercises will be introduced each week through the lessons. These will include a step by step breakdown of how to properly perform each movement, along with guiding pictures and a Youtube video for our visual learners. Most importantly, we will discuss which muscles are being used during each specific exercise, and why these muscles are needed for our overall health and well being.
