Welcome to 7th Grade PE

Welcome to Early Light Academy and 7th grade PE! In this year of PE you will be covering Beginning Team Sports Activities. This is an entry-level course emphasizing beginner skills in a broad spectrum of activities in order to develop a foundation for future physical education classes. The course content is developmentally appropriate for seventh grade students who, in most instances, will be experiencing a formal physical education class for the first time.

Whoa, that is a lot of jargon to understand. Just know that 7th grade PE will explore beginning team sports activities and fitness. Students are introduced to the elements of physical fitness and are responsible for learning the basic vocabulary. Pre and post fitness tests are appropriate, with results being used to provide personal information, individualize instruction, and indicate student improvement. In addition to physical skills, instruction includes cognitive and social development. Students value fair play and social interaction and learn to celebrate individual differences in activity settings.
On the right side of the screen is a link to the syllabus for 7th grade PE as well as a link to the "Activity Page" which is your guide to HOMEWORK, PROJECTS, FITNESS TEST JOURNAL as well as any required READING for 7th grade PE.

7th Grade PE Curriculum is based off Core Curriculum developed by Utah State Board of Education and can be found at www.schools.utah.gov
