7th Grade Health and 6-8th Grade Girls Physical Education Instructor
Welcome to Health class! This is a required semester course for seventh grade students emphasizing concepts for healthy living. Students will have fun engaging in various projects and activities that will help them have a better understanding of themselves and develop healthy habits to help them live a well-balanced life. Major units will include: Health and Wellness, Building Self-Esteem, Family and Social Health, Growth and Development, Nutrition, Exercise and Fitness, Basic First Aid, Disease Cause and Prevention, Drug Awareness, and Healthy Decision Making Skills. Our school nurse, Mrs. Kuttes will also present a unit called Project Alert, which is an extended program of D.A.R.E.
In addition to Health, I also teach Physical Education to girls in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Over the course of the year, students learn fundamental skills and strategies in a variety of sports and recreational games. Students also participate in a Fitness Gram test, which measures fitness levels in the areas of: cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance. At the end of third quarter, students have the opportunity to participate in Hoops For Heart where they raise money for the American Heart Association.
My homework/assignment list for both subjects can be found on Google Apps for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Please click on the appropriate grade level and it will take you to the specified calendar.
