Primary: Kindergarten - 2nd Grade
In the primary classes the focus throughout the year is on fundamental movements and skills to build a strong foundation to make them successful in the more complex intermediate sport units. This is done through exploration, games, direct instruction/demonstration and modified sport. Unit: Soccer Description: Students will learn and enhance their fundamental skills and knowledge of soccer. They will learn proper technique while dribbling and passing through practice and lead up activities. (we will start the year with baseline fitness testing) |
Intermediate: 3rd Grade- 6th Grade
In the intermediate grades I use the sport education method to teach our sport units. In this model students are placed into teams and some students have the leadership roles of being the captain, trainer, statistician or manager for their team. By using this model students work in smaller groups which provide more opportunities to respond. They are also are able to experience different roles and learn how to synergize and have good sportsmanship. Teams are awarded daily points not just for wins and loses but also for their behavior, sportsmanship, knowledge and being leaders in the class. Unit: Soccer Description: Students will be working on improving and building upon the fundamental skills of soccer previously learned . Students will be take a greater focus on using their skills tactically in the game while also learning more advanced techniques. (we will start the year with baseline fitness testing) |
