(a) Introduction.
(1) In Physical Education, students acquire the
knowledge and skills for movement that provide the foundation for enjoyment,
continued social development through physical activity, and access to a
physically-active lifestyle. The student exhibits a physically-active lifestyle
and understands the relationship between physical activity and health throughout
the lifespan.
(2) In Grades K-2, children learn fundamental
movement skills and begin to understand how the muscles, bones, heart, and
lungs function in relation to physical activity. Students begin to develop a
vocabulary for movement and apply concepts dealing with space and body
awareness. Students are engaged in activities that develop basic levels of
strength, endurance, and flexibility. In addition, students learn to work
safely in group and individual movement settings. A major objective is to
present activities that complement their natural inclination to view physical
activity as challenging and enjoyable.
(3) The focus for kindergarten students is on
learning basic body control while moving in a variety of settings. Students
become aware of strength, endurance and flexibility in different parts of their
bodies and begin to learn ways to increase health-related fitness.

I
would create daily activities for my students. On a day to day basis, I would
be informing my students of the importance of being healthy and having fun. I would
be coming up with fun games to keep my student engaged with their peers. I would
also be teaching my student about the muscles, bones, heart, and lungs by
having my students stretch every day before we do any activities. Every two
weeks, we would complete a fitness exam making sure everyone is improving and
checking the knowledge. My students must complete the final exam to make sure they
have mastered and understood everything over the semester and keep using
fitness in their everyday life style.
With
me working with kindergarten, teaching my students how to control movement and
stay in their own personal space would be the most important thing on my agenda.
For the first two weeks of school, my students would practice on staying in
their own row, an arm’s length away from others. Also I would teach my students
to give each other praises and encourage others to complete the tasks as
followed. All students would have to complete fitness workouts on a daily basis.
To make sure that everyone is improving and becoming more healthy and aware of
how the body works.
First of all, I think its wonderful that you will be teaching young kids. I think this is where they start to get their foundation for all of school, and life. Also, I like that you will be keeping your students engaged, and will encourage praising. So often, you hear of kids bullying other kids, and this is a great way to counteract that. And by starting them off at a young age, it's fantastic!
