February was a great month. The kids enjoyed the Valentine’s Day Celebration; we had treats, candies, cards and an especial book from our secret friend. Because of that celebration, in Spanish class they learned a new song called “Cada vez que nos juntamos” (Every time we get together). Also, they wrote a Valentine’s card in Spanish to a friend or a family member. After Valentine’s Day, we started the unit “ La comida” (food). We talked about favorite foods, favorite drinks, and favorite fruits and vegetables. Also they have enjoyed the song “Chocolate bate bate” and the books: “ La semana de cookie” and “ El perro con sombrero”. Next month, we are going to start with the unit “La ropa” (clothing).

My philosophy is that Physical Education should promote the learning domains and provide a positive learning environment where the students feel comfortable regardless of their ability. Through making our program paced and fun I will be able to incorporate different teaching styles so that those students of all levels feel comfortable and increase their badminton skills. I feel that Physical Education should encourage students to take their new abilities and love for physical activity outside of their school where they will be able to use the skills that they have learned in school to play either at a competitive or a recreational level.


Program Goal:
All students will be able to play a functional game of badminton employing basic skills, rules and strategies.


Rationale:
Badminton is a lifetime activity which includes enhancing social skills and motor skills.


Objectives:
  1. After sufficient instruction and practice time all students will be able to move to the shuttlecock and execute a shot demonstrating proper form and an acceptable level of accuracy.
  2. After sufficient instruction and practice time all students will be able to execute and underhand serve demonstrating proper form and acceptable level of success.
  3. After reviewing verbal explanation, students will demonstrate knowledge of basic rules of badminton by verbal communication and demonstration.


Entry Level
Kindergarten, first and second grade students there will be a wide range of skill levels. This lesson will be structured to start off working on basic skills and will allow students a chance to learn and practice more advanced badminton skills.


Cognitive Domain
-Understand and apply rules to the best of their ability
-Know basic strategies/tactics for singles play


Affective Domain
-Be able to display sportsmanship and values of fair play

-Display a positive attitude


Psychomotor Domain

Physical Education Procedures and Expectations:
  • Respect yourself and others
  • Wear appropriate clothing and gym shoes or close-toed shoes
  • Walk in and out of the building quietly
  • Be silent and listen when the teacher is speaking
  • Follow directions
  • Use equipment with permission only
  • Implementing the phrase (Stop, Look, and Listen)
  • Safety


As their Physical Education teacher I continue to pay particular attention to their social development. Taking advantage of building their self esteem and confidence throughout  their physical education class. Students are working on problem solving, cooperation and even learning to be leaders by taking turns which is critical to a successful program. The goal of physical education is to develop physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity. To pursue a lifetime of healthful physical activity, a physically literate individual.

  • Participates regularly in physical activity.
