PERSONAL FITNESS DAY/ WORKOUT WEDNESDAY
This worksheet is attached to the students' "Workout Wednesday" tracking sheet where they keep track of their personal fitness activities each week. It helps remind them of the appropriate guidelines for a safe, effective, and appropriate workout. The students may choose which specific activity the do for the given segments (warm-up, activity, and cool down), but it must fall within these heart rate and time guidelines.
PERSONAL FITNESS PLAN
As a Health and Physical Education Teacher and Lifelong Fitness advocate, my ultimate goal is to help as many people as I can reach a state of Health and Wellness. Rather than giving you a fitness plan to follow and “making” you complete certain activities, I have created this Personalized Fitness Plan to serve as a guide for individuals to learn and understand the concepts behind creating a Fitness Plan and Routine... A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MRS. HERANIC FOR HER HELP WITH EDITING THIS FINAL DRAFT!!!

PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION (1/2 CREDIT) - 1 SEMESTER - GRADES 9-12

The emphasis of Physical Education is on developing and maintaining a high level of individual fitness. It is also designed to provide a variety of activities and games that will stimulate enjoyment of team games and to develop skills for lifetime sports activities. Adaptive activities and evaluation are provided for those with physical limitations that have been documented by a medical doctor.

 
 
 
5th GRADE PHYSICAL EDUCATION
This nine (9) week course is for students to develop and maintain a level of health related fitness. The course is not centered on the development of specific athletic skills. Students will participate in a variety of activities to attain a personal level of health fitness, to include cardiovascular exercises, competitive events and swimming

Grading Scale

Physical Education is not a weighted course.  I use the grading scale approved by the school district:
 100-98 = A+               97-93 = A               92-90 = A-
  89-87 = B+                86-83 = B               82-80 = B-
     79-77 = C+                 76-73 = C             72-70 = C-   
 69-67 = D+                66-63 = D              62-60 = D-
 59-0 = E
