Physical Education Highlights

Kindergarten Phys Ed Quarterly Report

November 2003

Dear Kindergarten Parents,

The following concepts have been introduced to your child in physical education class during the first marking period:

• Following directions by listening, asking questions, doing an activity, following a leader, and using equipment correctly

• Proper use of space—understanding that in the gym we have personal space that belongs to us so that we can all participate safely

• Knowing various body parts and ways we use them (i.e. turning, twisting, bending, straightening, etc.)

• Aerobic fitness—being able to run or play for a long time without stopping

• Flexibility concepts—understanding that we want our muscles to be flexible like a rubber band so that we can participate in activities without getting injured

• Instep kick—using proper form to kick a ball with the instep (where the laces are)

• Foot dribbling using the inside of the foot

If you have any questions, please contact me here at school.

Sincerely,

Mike Getsinger
Physical Education Specialist
