Pemberton Township Curriculum Map k-2 physical education Grade Level: K-2 Unit: Movement Education and Rhythm Enduring Understandings Efficient movement improves performance. Physical movement can be creative, enjoyable, and individually rewarding. Physical and cognitive skills are necessary to successfully participate in a variety of physical activities and sports. Essential Questions How do you move efficiently and safely within a physical setting? How does your movement affect performance? Why is the development of motor skills essential? Why are skills and game knowledge important for participation? Knowledge Lesson/Activity/Procedure & Skills 1, 2; C, D, E Learning directions: The purpose of this activity is to integrate the concept of directions with moving to a rhythm. The "6" directions taught--forward, backward, left, right, up, down, plus the "2" directions--clockwise and counterclockwise. 1, 2; C, D, E To allow the students opportunities to create their own rhythms and explore different ways to solve problems. 1; A, B, C, D, G To reinforce specialized motor skills and habitats. The science and physical education teacher will work together to teach the named specialized motor skill (alligator crawl, bear walk, crab walk, Time Frame 35 minutes 35 minutes 35 minutes Resources/Notes 31

frog jump, gorilla walk, inchworm, penguin walk, rabbit jump, snake, turtle) and habitats (rain-forest, desert, forest, oceans). Student will form the body shapes (wide, narrow, rounded, and twisted) while using a piece of equipment. 3, 4; E, F, G Students will demonstrate an understanding of and ability to move in straight, curved, and zigzag pathways. After introducing the concept of straight, curved and zigzag pathways, and having students move through general space while making different pathways, give each student a pair of skis (paper plates) to place underneath their feet. Students must keep their feet on the paper plates while listening to the ski instructor (you). 3, 4; E, F, G To introduce the skill of balancing and to combine it with different movement concepts. 1. Students practice balancing a beanbag on their heads (or other body part) while stationary. 2. Students practice balancing a beanbag on their heads (or other body part) while moving in general space. 3. Students practice balancing a beanbag on their heads (or other body part) while moving through an obstacle course set up throughout the gym. 4. Partners. Students take turns being the follower and the leader while traveling through general space with a beanbag balanced on their head (or other body part). 5. Partners. Students take turns being the follower and the leader while traveling through the obstacle course with a beanbag balanced on his/her head (or other body part). 35 minutes 35 minutes 32

Grade Level: K-2 Unit: Fitness/Wellness Enduring Understandings You only have one body; take care of it so that you can be your best every day. Appropriate types and amounts of physical activity enhance personal health and fitness is a lifetime commitment. Essential Questions What does it mean to be fit? Why would people get tired more on some days than others? What are ways to increase your energy (both in the short term and in the long term)? How did I challenge myself today? Knowledge Lesson/Activity/Procedure & Skills 1, 2; A, B, C For students to work on their cardiovascular endurance, locomotor skills and review the sight words (vocabulary words) they are learning in the classroom. I ask in advance from the teachers a list of the sight words/or a vocab list that students have been working on. I write their sight words on address labels and place them on the beanbags. I then put a different color dot in the corner of the label. I place the beanbags with the sight words facing down. I pair students into groups of two to three so they can help each other in case they get to a sight word they do not know. Students can take turns on who reads the beanbag first. I have each group start at one beanbag sitting crisscross applesauce. When I say go, students turn over their beanbag and read the sight word and look at the color dot in the corner. That dot will tell the students which color bean bag to go to next. Throughout the game, I switch up the locomotor Time Frame 35 Minutes Resources/Notes 33

movement (running, skipping, galloping etc.). Once the students read the sight word, they place the beanbag face down and go to the next beanbag. When I blow my whistle two times, students sit crisscross applesauce and eyes on me. Make sure students say the word out loud so that their group members can help them if they are saying the word incorrectly and you can go around and check for understanding as well. 1, 2; A, B, C To have students understand and experience the concept that when we exercise our bodies work harder. This makes our hearts beat faster requiring more oxygen that causes us to breathe harder. * First of all, students go to the "mouth" station where they take three big breaths and pick up an object that represents oxygen (i.e., beanbag). * Secondly, they run to the "heart" station and contract their whole body (see the explanation below), pretending to be a heart. * Third, they run to the "muscle" station where they put their beanbag into a bucket and perform a designated exercise (i.e., 10 jumping jacks). * Fourth, the students have "run out of oxygen" and must go back to the mouth to get more. 35 Minutes Remind students that they must stay in the track because it is like the arteries in the body. Teach the students that when they exercise they begin breathing harder, and that when we breathe we take oxygen into our bodies. (Have everyone take three deep breaths.) 3; D, E Place one cone for every two students on the baseline. Scatter the laminated food cards face down on the opposite side of half court. When the 35 Minutes 34

music begins, one student from each team (teams of two) performs the specified locomotor movement until s/he gets to a food card. S/he picks up one card and performs the specified locomotor movement back to her/his cone. The partner then performs the specified locomotor movement to pick up another food card. The partners take turns picking up food cards until no cards are left to be picked up. Each team makes two piles: "everyday" foods and "sometimes" foods After all foods are picked up, have one student from each team bring the healthy foods to the instructor. Check for accuracy and then have the students scatter the foods back on the court. Repeat for the sometimes foods. 3; D, E Divide students into groups of four. Scatter containers, plastic food, and bowling pins throughout the activity area. Identify each container as one of the MyPyramid food groups. Ask each group to create a shopping cart by placing a mat on four scooters. Designate two students as shoppers (sit on cart) and two as cart pushers. Shoppers grab a food. The group categorizes which of the MyPyramid food groups the food belongs and the cart pushers push their cart to the labeled container that matches their choice. Shoppers drop the food item in the container. The activity continues until all foods are in a container. Repeat activity challenging the groups to categorize foods 100% correctly. 3; D, E Arrange the students so they are sitting in a circle. If you can have several circles set up as opposed to 35 Minutes 35 Minutes 35

the entire class. In the middle of the circle place food cards (a large variety) face down (food cards must have a paper clip attached to them). Explain to the students that this is the fish pond and the food cards are the fish. Attach the string to the yard stick and a magnet to the end of the string. Give each student a turn to "fish" in the pond by putting the yard stick over the pond and attaching the magnet to the paper clip. The student will then reel in the food card and look at it to decide which food group on the food guide pyramid that it belongs to. The student will then ask the group if they agree. 5; K Divide the class into three equal teams. Have one group of players occupy a space between the other two groups. These players are the landfill fillers. Discuss how landfills take up valuable land, and sometimes create ground water pollution. The two groups on the outer areas are the recyclers. Their mission is to pass balls back and forth between the landfill fillers as many times as they can so that the balls can be recycled. Balls may be thrown or bounced to players, but they may not go higher than the heads of the landfill fillers. Any ball intercepted by the landfill fillers becomes lost in the landfill (placed back in the storage unit. Rotate positions and play again. 35 Minutes 36

Grade Level: K-2 Unit: Manipulative Skills Enduring Understandings Knowing and understanding concepts of movement will improve performance in a specific skill and provide the foundation for transfer of skills in a variety of sports and activities. Performing movement skills in a technically correct manner improves overall performance and increases the likelihood of participation in lifelong physical activity. Essential Questions How does effective and appropriate movement affect wellness? Why do I have to understand concepts of movement when I can already perform the movement? Knowledge & Skills 1, 2, 3, 4; A, B, C, D, E, F Lesson/Activity/Procedure Time Frame Resources/Notes Ask students, "If your teacher gave you a crayon and asked you to draw a dog, what hand would you use?" Ask the students to raise this hand and put a rubber band loosely around their wrist. This becomes our "rubber band hand." After determining our rubber band hand, ask the student to step forward on their opposite foot. Place a piece of masking tape on their toe, and this becomes our "tape toe." Move over to a line at one end of the space and hand out imaginary items (Rotten eggs, sloppy slimy tomatoes and big juicy watermelons work great.). Place an item in each player's rubber band hand while instructing them on the correct hand placement. Then ask them to step forward on their tape toe and throw their rotten egg all the way across the gym at the opposite wall. After a few prompts and attempts to throw various rotten fruits 37

1, 2, 3, 4; A, B, C, D, E, F and vegetables, we are good enough for yarn balls. With the cues "step on your tape toe" and "throw with your rubber band hand," the students are quickly using correct form. The activity continues with throwing the balls at targets on the floor and walls. After introducing a couple of the cues for the overhand throw and letting students "practice" them a few times in place without a ball, let students know they will play a game against themselves to see how well they can throw. Have one student demonstrate putting a hoop against the wall in front of where they are standing, and then move approximately 8-10 feet away from the wall (this is where they put their cone). The child throws the ball to the wall, and if he/she hits the wall with the ball, they then take a step backward. If the child once again can hit the wall with the ball, he/she moves the cone back to where they just were, and then takes another step back. The student then continues to move a step back until their throw misses the wall. At this point, they then stay at the last place their cone was set, and continue to throw from there until they can once again hit the wall. (Remind students it's not important if they get the ball in the hoop or not, but the hoop can help them to know where to throw.) At the "go" signal, have students get a ball of their choice, a hoop, and a cone and set their "game" up to begin. As students throw against the wall, move around the area and give students feedback on how they are doing, reminding them about a cue(s) they may not be using. For a formal assessment, check off on an observation sheet whether each 38

1, 2, 3, 4; A, B, C, D, E, F 1, 2, 3, 4; A, B, C, D, E, F student "consistently", "sometimes", or "hardly ever" uses each of the cues given. Have students get a balloon and find a good selfspace in general space. On teachers signal students are to gently toss the balloon with one hand making it go above their head and almost "behind their head" (the position of the balloon is very important). Just before the balloon reaches its height (one to two feet above the fully extended arm) the student strikes as hard as they can in an upward direction ("try to hit it toward the ceiling"). If the balloon is in the right place the task clearly helps the children practice the over arm throw/strike pattern for force. First demonstrate the "inside of the foot" pass by kicking the ball to a student. Clue the class to watch which part of the foot you use to kick the ball; after kicking, have each student touch (on their foot) the part of the foot used. (If they don't touch the inside of the foot, demonstrate and introduce once again). Also introduce the "foot trap", performed by placing the foot onto the top of the ball as it moves toward you, in order to stop it (without using the hands). Once students understand where the inside of the foot is and what this type of pass is to be used for (for passing the ball to a teammate; ball stays close to the ground), let students know they will be working with a partner for today's activity. Demonstrate the set-up: Students should stand facing their partner, being approximately 5 to 7 yards apart. One student has the ball and passes the ball to his partner using the inside of the foot pass. The other student will then receive the ball by trapping it, then move back a 39
