DOMINICAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL Physical Education Elementary School Grade 3-5 S.Y. 2015~2016 Grade Level: 3-5 Teacher: Julie Chiu Email: jwu@dishs.tp.edu.tw Course Description The activities and topics in the Physical Education program enable young basic learners to develop their basic and movement skills, knowledge and most importantly, their attitudes necessary to lead an active, healthy lifestyle. The course includes a wide variety of activities such as dancing, basic gymnastics, calisthenics, and basic sports skills. In addition, emphasis on developing values like sportsmanship, perseverance and fair play are incorporated to every activity. Teaching Strategies The teaching strategies for my physical education class will focus on emphasizing the physical fitness component of sport. The primary objectives of any physical education program are as follows: To foster in children a love of physical activity and play To instill a need for physical fitness in each child To develop coordination, grace, and control To provide opportunities for increased responsibility in planning, organizing, and leadership To give children as wide a skill, games, and dance experience as possible. (Unfortunately we are currently without an indoor facility this year) To present opportunities for children to belong to a group in which each child is accepted To provide experiences that will develop initiative, self-reliance, self-worth, loyalty, honesty, kindness to others, and a love of learning To develop a sense of fair play and cooperation in children and the ability to work in groups, leading to increased cultural understanding. Student Activities Each class period will be set up in the same format as long as facilities, weather and school functions permit. This format consists of five parts.
