Mr. Haliburda's P.E. blog

This week, I will have my 4th and 5th grade classes run outside.  They will both be tested on their 13 min. (4th) and 15 min. (5th) runs.  The number of laps will be recorded and will be a grade on their report card this marking period.  The distance/number of laps and grade are listed below:

13 min. run 4th grade

Distance miles/Laps   –    grade

1 1/4 + or 5 + laps – 1

1- 1 1/4 or 4 to just under 5 laps – 2

3/4- 1 or 3 to just under 4 laps – 3

<3/4 or just under 3 laps – 4

15 min. run 5th grade

Distance miles/Laps    –   grade

1 1/2 + or 6 + laps – 1

1 1/4 -1 1/2  or 5 to just under 6 laps – 2

1-1 1/4 or 4 to just under 5 laps – 3

<1 to just under 4 laps – 4

The students will come back in the gym and play a game if there is still time.  If the weather isn’t nice enough to run, I will keep the students inside and play a sideline soccer game.  The k-2nd grade classes will continue to practice their locomotor and soccer skills this week.

I will plan to teach my 3rd-5th grade classes my sideline soccer game during their first class of the week.  They will play this modified soccer game during both of their classes this week.  The K-2nd grade classes will continue to practice locomotor skills and soccer skills this week.  I will have them practice these skills by incorporating them in a variety of activities and games.

This week, I will continue to work on the instep kick with all of my classes.  The classes will practice the kick in a variety of ways.  I will have them practice it during drills and lead-up games.  The K-2nd grade classes will also practice their locomotor skill for the marking period in a variety of ways.  I will have them practice it during my red-line exercise warm-up and during a variety of tagging games.

This week, I will continue to work on soccer skills with all of my classes K-5th grade.  Last week, I taught and had the students practice the foot dribble, trapping, and changing directions.  I always try my best to teach and have the students practice skills that are developmentally appropriate for their grade level.  This week, the main skills I will teach and have the students practice will be passing and the instep Kick.  I will have them practice it in a variety of ways and have them play lead-up games that incorporate the skills.

I will have the K-1st grade students practice their locomotor skill for this marking period, which is hoping.  The 2nd graders will also practice their locomotor skill for this marking period, which is galloping.  I will have them practice the skills around the red line and during tagging games.

The 4th and 5th grade students will run outside at the end of this week to practice for their 1 mile, 13 minute (4th grade), and 15 minute (5th grade) runs.  I also want to get them prepared for the Cipriano Run on Oct 23rd, if they decide to participate.

The 1st – 3rd graders will learn about the personal/social skill, following directions.  I will constantly remind the students about the different ways that they should follow directions throughout the making period.

The 4th and 5th graders will learn about the personal/social skill, self control.  I will constantly remind the students using the different ways that they should use self control throughout the marking period.  I will have both grades write in their journals about self control.

These personal/social skills will be used as a main part of the students grade for sportsmanship on their report card.

The meet will be Monday, October 23rd at Ford Field Park. The park is located at Cherry Hill and Brady St. in Dearborn.
All students in grades 4th-8th grade can choose to participate in the annual cross country meet.  The cost of participation is $3 per student.

4th and 5th grade elementary students will compete in a timed one-mile race and 6th– 8th grade middle school students will compete in a two-mile race. The first student race will begin at 4:00 pm with each subsequent race starting at approximately 25 minute intervals for middle school and 20 minute intervals for elementary school.

Students and their families are responsible for arranging transportation and supervising their children while they are not competing. Students are to report to the shelter on the north side of the park and check-in with their schools. We will have a brief award ceremony after each race to announce the winning runners and the winning schools. We will all hope for good weather but the rain will not stop us from running. In the event of severe weather (lightning, thunder, heavy rains and/or winds) we may be forced to cancel the event.  In the event of severe weather look to the  Dearborn Athletic Blog for further information  https://athletics.dearbornschools.org. Please make sure they are dressed for the weather. Ford Field is located at Cherry Hill and Brady. We hope to see you there.

The 4th and 5th grade students will be running almost every class for the first two months of the school year.  Please have students bring the appropriate clothes to wear for cool weather running outside.  We will start by running around the gym for different amounts of time.  We will then go outside and run a 1/2 mile (2 laps) on the track.  The next run will be a 1 mile run (4 laps) on the track.  This will not be a grade on their report card, but I will write down their time as a pre-test for the Presidential Physical Fitness Test at the end of the year.  The final run will be a 13 min run for the 4th graders and a 15 min run for the 5th graders.  The number of laps they complete for these runs will give them their physical fitness grade on their report card for the first marking period.  The standards and grades are listed below.
