Field Experience 6

CURRICULUM AND NYS STANDARDS
Friday February 17th, destination: Elementary School 9:10am. In this reflection, I will be concentrating on the Curriculum and NYS Standards observed in this lesson. As for the K-5 curriculum at the school im observing, the students are experiencing a developmentally designed program of fitness and skill develop ment. I have seen educational games, and also a wide variety of motor skills and fitness concepts being taught! The more the students are exposed to at a young age, the more mentally and physical prepared they will be for higher physical education. 


NYS Physical Education Learning Standards
Standard 1 - Personal Health and Fitness
Students will have the necessary knowledge and skills to establish and maintain physical fitness, participate in physical activity, and maintain personal health.

• In the lesson that I observed, the class did gain knowledge and skills to maintain physical fitness, participate in physical activity and maintain personal health. The students gained knowledge on how to play a full 6 vs 6 game of volleyball up to 25 points. Winner must win by 2 pts. Also, by students learning to play a full game of volleyball, students can now play there own pick up game of volleyball outside of school. By students learning to play volleyball, they can now maintain personal health through playing the sport.

Standard 2 - A Safe and Healthy Environment
Students will acquire the knowledge and ability necessary to create and maintain a safe and healthy environment.

• Throughout the lesson, students were able to maintain their own personal space while playing a full game of 6 vs 6 volleyball. Every student played by the rules and no one got hurt while playing. 

Standard 3 - Resource Management
Students will understand and be able to manage their personal and community resources.

• In the lesson, the teacher actually did ask the students what type of surfaces you can play volleyball on. So in return, students can now play volleyball at the beach in the sand, or at the park near them. No exact locations on where to play were mentioned.
