<b>Welcome Back!</b><br />
A new school year is upon us! This is a very exciting time at DKIES! Our faculty and staff have been busy this summer with meetings, workshops, and conferences. Time and effort goes into the planning of every school year. To me, it's one of the benefits of being a teacher: every year, you get an opportunity to reflect and assess your past year's performance, and set new goals for the following year.<br />
Personally, summer meant ... 1. I was able to finish up my project on Autism and PE; this was a year long project used for professional development. I noticed in doing this project many areas where I fall short, and many areas where I can integrate ideas that will help not only autistic students, but all students; 2. my family trip to Japan; this was my second trip there and each time I learn new things. Mainly, I always like to check out there school system and how they do things. You can learn more about this if you read my blog, "The Gym Blog," at my website: www.everythingphysed.com.<br />
<br />
This year, Mrs. Lauren Meyer will continue to teach the lower grades, from preK to Grade 1. She came in last year for the second semester and did a fantastic job! Mrs. Meyer is not only a knowledgeable and competent teacher, but she is also caring and nurturing; all the students love her. Our school is tremendously blessed to have her on our staff!<br />
Our PE classes will increase by five minutes, this school year. That will give us a little extra time. Also, the upper grade curriculum will change slightly in emphasis: based on my current data, there will be more physical fitness activities provided. This has been recognized as a "need area." Also, another "need area" is Social Skills/Sportsmanship. Therefore, you can expect more activities which will bring out certain behaviors which we will encourage (peer help, positive interactions, resiliency, etc.) and hopefully allow the students to grow out of self-defeating and group-defeating behaviors.<br />
All of this will be a part of this year's PE classes, and you will be able to read all about it on my blog, as I will make comments throughout the year.<br />
Finally, my next "initiative" will be to contact parents regularly with a PE Record. This will provide information on your child's progress in physical fitness, social skills/behavior, and with movement/athletic skills. The exact method of doing this is still under consideration (translation: I don't know yet!). But, I will try to get information out in a confidential manner, so that the students and their parents can see a detailed profile of Physical Education progress. I believe this will be much better than waiting for a quarterly report card grade.<br />
<br />
<b>First Quarter PE</b><br />
Grades 2, 3, 4, 5 start the year with PE classes that will integrate all the PE National Standards. For example, we start out with Cooperative Learning activities, PLUS physical fitness evaluations, over the first few weeks. We will then start a Sports Unit on Golf. The sports units will be more focused, over several weeks, and will OVERLAP with other sports units, as we go through the year. In this way, the students will be "reviewing" sports skills throughout the year.<br />
By the end of the first quarter, we will have started our next Sports Unit on Volleyball.<br />
According to the PE First Quarter Plan, we should end the the quarter, in early October, with the following activities: Cooperative Learning, Gold, Volleyball, and all six physical fitness tests, with a baseline score.<br />
<br />
<b>First Quarter "Athletics:"</b><br />
The term "Athletics" is applied to all extracurricular PE activities.<br />
Our first quarter interscholastic sport is Cross Country. DKIES is the host school of a school complex wide cross country invitational in September. This year will mark our 14th year of cross country.<br />
At the school level, we provide opportunities for any interested student to do cross country running. Our campus course is a two-lap, one mile run. Your child will bring home information about these events.<br />
<br />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>Here is some additional information on the Physical Education Program at DKIES. The "Page Two" section is something I added just to give parents and interested faculty a brief framework of what PE is all about and what we do as PE teachers.

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is Physical Education?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Physical Education is an academic subject area. It is
instructional and is offered within the framework<br />
of the overall school
curriculum. Servicing involves organized, sequential lessons based on National
and State Physical Education Standards and Benchmarks. Activities are designed
to be developmentally appropriate for all students, from pre-K to Grade 5.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The main objectives of a Physical Education Program are
achieved by altering psychomotor behaviors through learning about the body,
self, movement skills, physical fitness, rules and strategies, and social
interactions. Implementing an integrated cognitive/affective/psychomotor
program for the nurturing of a physically educated child; a child who will have
a positive perspective on physical activity and participate for a lifetime does
this. By so doing, this will improve one’s physical, mental, spiritual, and
social state of being.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is the latest
research tell us about exercise and the brain? Does running really help my
child learn better in the classroom?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can answer this question with an unequivocal, “YES!” We’re
learning more and more about this issue, but current research is showing that
there is a direct link between aerobic exercise and the functioning of the
brain, especially the learning centers in the brain. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Neuroscience has told us:</div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l5 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">Humans
are genetically engineered to be “movers”; there is a biological
imperative to physical activity in order to keep the whole organism
functioning at its potential; the mind, body, and spirit are NOT separate;
we are a whole.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l5 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">2.
When the body works, the brain is prepared for peak performance; this is
not just because of improved circulation and blood flow; it also is
essential in the formation of neurochemicals which bind neurons together
in the brain; these neurochemicals help the brain with its growth of new
brain cells and with the binding of those cells. </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l5 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">As the
brain creates new cells and continues to bind neurons, our cognitive
capacities are increased!!! Academic skills, memory, mood, and attention
level will improve!</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l5 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">The
type of aerobic exercise needed for this type of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>improvement to happen is exercise, which
raises the heart rate, and it needs to be done on a regular basis!</li>

for Upper Grades (3-5):<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grades 3-5 will have a busy first quarter! We start with a
“Recess Orientation” for all students, which will review activities, rules and
procedures while at recess. We hope every child enjoys his/her recess time in a
safe and healthy manner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our first unit of study will be our “Golf Unit.” This will
include not only putting (which we introduced last year) but also swing
technique, iron play, etc. We will employ our “Hale Kula Driving Range” for
these lessons.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After Golf, we switch to our “Volleyball Unit.” The students
will learn all the basic skills and play in full court games.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also in the first quarter, is cross country running. The
first quarter of the year is “Cross Country Season” at hale Kula. All students
will be running our course and developing their cardiovascular endurance!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Supplementing these activities will be “Physical Fitness
Practice and Assessment.” We start the year with the 600 yard run, Shuttle Run,
and sit-ups.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">PE Attire:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PLEASE don’t forget appropriate PE attire is tennis/running
shoes, shorts, and a t-shirt. Preferably, simple play clothes are best because
they may get wet and/or dirty during a PE class. There are two main reasons for
the dress requirement:<o:p></o:p></div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1">

those who would like to pursue it. The cross country running opportunities that
the students will have in both PE class and intramurals will help determine
this year’s Cross Country Team.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is Physical Education?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Physical Education is an academic subject area. It is
instructional and is offered within the framework of the overall school
curriculum. Servicing involves organized, sequential lessons based on National
and State Physical Education Standards and Benchmarks. Activities are designed
to be developmentally appropriate for all students, from pre-K to Grade 5.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The main objectives of a Physical Education Program are
achieved by altering psychomotor behaviors through learning about the body,
self, movement skills, physical fitness, rules and strategies, and social
interactions. Implementing an integrated cognitive/affective/psychomotor
program for the nurturing of a physically educated child; a child who will have
a positive perspective on physical activity and participate for a lifetime does
this. By so doing, this will improve one’s physical, mental, spiritual, and
social state of being.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is the latest
research tell us about exercise and the brain? Does running really help my
child learn better in the classroom?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can answer this question with an unequivocal, “YES!” We’re
learning more and more about this issue, but current research is showing that
there is a direct link between aerobic exercise and the functioning of the
brain, especially the learning centers in the brain. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Neuroscience has told us:<o:p></o:p></div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l4 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">Humans
are genetically engineered to be “movers”; there is a biological
imperative to physical activity in order to keep the whole organism
functioning at its potential; the mind, body, and spirit are NOT separate;
we are a whole.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l4 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">2.
When the body works, the brain is prepared for peak performance; this is
not just because of improved circulation and blood flow; it also is
essential in the formation of neurochemicals which bind neurons together
in the brain; these neurochemicals help the brain with its growth of new
brain cells and with the binding of those cells. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l4 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">As the
brain creates new cells and continues to bind neurons, our cognitive
capacities are increased!!! Academic skills, memory, mood, and attention
level will improve!<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l4 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">The
type of aerobic exercise needed for this type of improvement to happen is exercise, which
raises the heart rate, and it needs to be done on a regular basis!<o:p></o:p></li>
