Need a link for a fitness "report card" for students

by cjode

Sep 18, 2008

I recently tested students on the President's Challenge and cannot find a form to report individual scores so I can send a "report card" to the parents. Does anyone have a link or form that they use? I am not very good at making spreadsheets and would prefer an already made blank form. Thanks.

PE Incentives

by Julie Reuter

Sep 22, 2008

Hello, I'm a new PE instructor for K-5th grades. I'm trying to put together an incentive program but am stuck. I ordered stickers for the kids and I'd like to offer a "free day" but I'm not sure how I go about establishing guidelines. I have almost 300 students so I'm a little overwhelmed on how I'm going to administer incentives. Please let me kno...See More

cjode I have mentioned doing a similar field with my students and they sound absolutely thrilled with the idea. My problem is having space to do this. I teach in the middle school gym and my students are in elementary and come across the street. So, I need to figure out a hall space in the elementary building that is suitable for the students to see and ...See More

Julie Reuter Yes, I'm impressed with Missouri also! The problem is not that my kids are not interested in PE or don't like it. PE is their favorite subject and they are thrilled to get to the gym and have fun while learning. They are definitely engaged in it when we have class. That is not the issue at all. Sometimes kids can't or don't control their excitement...See More

Behavior Issues

by Julie Reuter

Oct 3, 2008

Hello,

I teach PE to K-5 grades. I have a 2nd grade class that has three boys that lose control constantly. They are good boys that just don't have the self control that the other kids have. They feed off of each other. I realized lately that I have been reprimanding the whole class often when really it's these three boys that disrupt the ...See More

Julie, I can definitely understand where you are coming from. I have taught K-6 PE for 11 years and there are always kids like this in class. I have about 5 of them in one of my 1st grade classes. First, do you have a routine for the kids. Do they always come in and sit in spots? or start exercising right away?? You need to have consistency. What are the boys doing? is it unsafe? It depends on what they are doing, if they are pushing then they must automatically go "take a break" as I call it. Let them know they aren't in trouble it is just a way for them to get themselves under control, you might evne want to give them something to do while they are taking a break, like jump rope since these are the kids that need to get energy out!! I tell them the 1st time they go take a break, they come back when they are ready, 2nd time I decide when they come back and I usually talk to them a little then. We talk about safety and how it is the #1 thing in class. If you are being unsafe you must take a break. You have to be consistent and unemotional about it, just have them take a break when they are unsafe, disruptive.

cjode yes, I have explored the website more thoroughly and have found those fitness grams. My co-PE teacher and I just made a wish list and in the US Games catalog there is a computer program listed that we put on it. Wow, how interesting to go from teaching at the university level to elementary PE.
