7th and 8th grade P.E. Course Description
Physical activity is an enjoyable and essential part of our lives. Physical education provides a child with the knowledge, skills, and direction to begin the journey to a healthy, happy, and productive life. Today's sedentary lifestyle has created crises in children's lives. "Because of the current obesity epidemic, children today have a shorter life expectancy than their parents for the first time in 100 years" (Dr. William Klish, Baylor College of Medicine). Quality physical education in elementary school can help to reverse this dangerous trend.
At the middle school level students understand the concept of fair play and begin to recognize the varying skill levels within a class. Playing by the rules and respecting self and others are emphasized as students participate in cooperative and competitive physical education activities. Students see how levels of physical activity and food intake are related to obesity and obesity-related diseases. Life skills are embedded in the curriculum. It is recommended that, in addition to lunch, all students receive a minimum of 150 minutes of structured physical education per week.
Special needs students who have IEP recommendations to be included in regular physical education classes may need modifications in both instruction and assessment of physical education skills. However, efforts should be made to teach special needs students with minimal but appropriate modifications in order to provide them with success in physical education.
Integrated physical education lessons are included to assist teachers who use physical activity to teach academic content. Kinesthetic learners have optimum success when they move their bodies as they learn.

Materials needed for Current Health:
1. Notebook - Your notebook will be graded a few times throughout the semester, and possibly collected at the end of each marking period. All notes, daily reflections and exit slips should be kept in an orderly fashion. You are expected to date each entry and write in a legible print.
2. Folder or 3-ringed binder - There are several handouts you will receive in this class. It is your responsibility to keep them accessible for quizzes.
3. Textbooks – Will be kept in the room and NOT TAKEN HOME.
Grading Scale
Your grade in this class will be determined on a total point scale. Each assignment you complete will be given a possible amount of points to be earned. Your points earned will be divided by the total possible points to achieve your grade.
Homework: Completing homework assignments is crucial to your success in Current Health. You are expected to turn homework in at the beginning of class on the assigned date it is due. Homework turned in after the beginning of class is considered late. Late homework is accepted up to one week after the assigned due date. However, you may only receive half the total points for the late work. Remember, all points add up in the end, so late is better than never.
Absenteeism: If you are absent it is YOUR responsibility to find out what you missed. Everything you will need can be found on the dry erase board. You are responsible for obtaining notes when you are absent.
Quizzes
99% of the time these are announced, but I do reserve the right to have a “pop’ quiz if I feel it is necessary. Prior to any quiz, you will receive a study either verbally or in a handout.
Rules and Consequences

- Have all materials with you at the beginning of class

3. Phone Call Home
4. Disciplinary Write-up
5. Severe – you may be sent to the office
~A Tip From Mr. D~
Active participation in class activities and discussions has a direct impact on the overall success you will have in Current Health. Students who contribute in discussions, have well organized notebooks, and are actively engaged in class have a higher success rate than those who do not.
If you ever feel like you need extra help or clarification, I am available in the mornings before school starts and at lunch. DO NOT WAIT until test time to ask questions, this is too late!
