Goal

The goal of this grant is to get kids active during physical education class while meeting our fitness components and physical education standards. The physical fitness components addressed in this grant include cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, and muscular endurance. The standards focused on include movement competency (locomotor skills), lifetime fitness, and responsible behaviors. Students will also improve their physical ability and develop teamwork skills while working with their peers.  

What will be done with my students

Students will participate in activities that involve things that roll…balls and scooters. Students will develop various skills improving their muscular strength and endurance while focusing on movement competency, lifetime fitness, and responsible behavior standards. Before participating, students will learn about cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, and muscular endurance via posters, class discussions (Youtube Brain Bites Clips), and/or PowerPoint slides. Students will also work cooperatively with peers during activities exhibiting personal and social behavior that respects self and others.
1. Battleship with scooters will provide cardio while encouraging teamwork and teaching students offense and defense strategies. Four to Six teams set off in the deep blue sea to knock out other ships engines (ships are mats and engines are 4 bowling pins). Kids play different positions in this game (coast guard – collects balls around the ship, sailor-throws balls at other ships engines, tugboat – rides on scooters and collects balls in the ocean) and work together to keep their ship from sinking.
2. Card Sharks Basketball Dribbling and Passing - Divide students into pairs. Students will work on basketball dribbling, and chest and bounce passes. Students will be using a deck of cards in a game that involves these two types of basketball passes. A black card represents a bounce pass while the red cards represent chest passes. The teacher holds the deck of cards while standing in the center (or side) of the activity area. One student from each partnership dribbles the ball to the teacher and draws a new card. The student then returns to his/her partner, and the team then performs the type and number of passes which their card indicates. For example:
• 10 of Spades = 10 bounce passes
• King of Hearts = 13 chest passes
• Ace of Clubs = 1 bounce pass
As soon as the task is completed, the other member of the partnership dribbles the ball over to the teacher and exchanges the card for another card, and play continues. Students will also compete in March Madness Hot Spots Basketball Competition. Classes will be divided into several teams. Poly spots will be placed around the basketball hoops and students will stand on a poly spot and shoot the basketball. If they make the shot, their team collects the poly spot and puts it in the basket. The teams will earn rankings based on the amount of poly spots collected and will compete against other classes. These basketball activities will improve hand-eye coordination, agility, strength, balance, and stamina along with promoting teamwork.
PE.K-2.M.1.1 –Students will demonstrate locomotor and non-locomotor skills with proficiency in a variety of activity settings.
PE.3-5.M.1.1 – Students will apply locomotor and non-locomotor skills in a variety of settings while applying the appropriate movement concept as the situation demands.
PE.3-5.M.1.12 – Students will demonstrate competency in many and proficiency in a few movement forms from a variety of categories (locomotor, non-locomotor, manipulative and non-manipulative.
PE.3-5.M.1.5 Students will maintain control while dribbling with hands.
PE.K-5.L.4.1 – Students will Identify the location of muscles that help the body perform specific physical activities. For example, leg muscles used to power the scooter.
PE. K-5.M.1.2-1.5 Students will know how to strike objects with body parts such as using hands to handle a ball.
PE.K-5.L.3.1 – Students will participate in regular physical activity and be able to identify activities that provide moderate exercise.
PE.K-5.R. 6.1 Students will identify physical activities that are enjoyable and value physical activities for health, enjoyment, challenge, and/or social interaction.
PE.3-5.L.4.1. Students will describe how muscular strength and endurance enhances performance in physical activities.
 

Benefits to my students

Benefits to our students include having physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skill, and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity. Students will be able to describe the difference between cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, and muscular endurance. Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to working muscles during continuous physical activity. Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance. Muscular endurance is the ability to use voluntary muscles repeatedly without tiring. Also, students will learn the skills necessary to participate in a variety of physical activities and their contributions to a healthy lifestyle. Physical fitness is more important now than ever before due to our diet and sedentary lifestyle. Getting our students active will benefit them in years to come.  

Budget Narrative

The items requested will allow students to participate in Battleship and March Madness Basketball Skills. Some of the materials we have for these activities. For example, we have some scooters but need more.
