6th Grade Activities

1st Trimester

Welcome to 6th grade at Lakeview!

The Physical Education teachers for the 6th graders are Mr. Dvorak, Mr. Dodd, and Mrs. Andreatta. Although students have one of these teachers on their schedule, they receive grades from all three. Grades are based on skill improvement, daily work, written tests, and fitness work.

Motor development activities for this trimester include:

Track and Field, which stresses the form of sprints, distance runs, relay hand-offs, and field events;

Football, which stresses passing and catching, positions, and general game concepts;

Team building initiatives, which stresses teamwork and cooperation in a games and problem solving setting.

We follow these guideline:

Do your best,

Follow the rules,

Cooperate,

People are not for hurting.

Wellness training, where we learn weight lifting principles;

In addition to movement studies, students receive grades on fitness activities:

Jump roping grades are based on skill improvement. Students work on jumping forward and backward, on one foot and two, using a variety of jumps and resting moves.

Our second cardio cross training activity is a 10 minute run once a week. Students wear heart monitors and work on pacing and staying in their target heart rate zones. The monitors tell students if they should be working a little harder or if they should slow down, because it's just as important not to overdo it as it is to work hard enough. Each run is worth 10 points and students receive one point for each minute in the target zone.
Here is a copy of the running record sheet.

Step aerobics grades are based on keeping time to the music and following directions. Our steps are the same ones used in health clubs, as are the moves we do. This is a new experience and can be very tricky for our students. Some catch on quickly and some don't but it really is getting better.
