Love Nolan Elementary School
At Love Nolan, the students are finishing up their kicking unit by playing crab soccer games. The gym is set up with mats that create an arena for an ultimate crab soccer game. Everyone was involved in each game with the goal to use the bottom of their foot and kick the ball over another team's head. Differentiation was used by changing the size of the ball for the game. MVPA was achieved during the lesson and warm up, and Mrs. Jones did a great job with her Depth of Knowledge questioning. Email - JonesJ2@fultonschools.org for this game!
S.L. Lewis Elementary School
Sometimes you have to do written assessments in physical education. This is a great way to integrate reading and writing into our curriculum. On this day, students at S.L. Lewis were taking their formative assessment on juggling and cup stacking. To maximize time and space, the room was set up ahead of time with pencils, tablets, and tests. Small group testing was available for students that needed additional help. I have added the assessments to our test bank below. Want more information on how to successfully do written assessments in P.E., contact Gwen Thigpen - thigpen@fultonschools.org
Rhythms & Dance
Fulton County Physical Education: Definitions of Instructional Technology, Rigor and MVPA in Physical Education
Rigor - The teacher creates a student-centered, challenging environment where individual student and class performance is continually assessed to guide instruction through extending, refining, and applying tasks or activities. The content is linked for transfer of learning within physical education and among other content areas.
Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) - MVPA is the time spent on moderate to vigorous physical activity during the lesson. The intensity of the activity depends on the individual’s previous experience in their level of fitness. It is the expectation that students are engaged in MVPA for a minimum of 50% of class time.

Jump Rope For Heart
Does your school participate in Jump Rope for Heart? This is a great project based learning unit for physical education! I had our community representative speak with the students, and we made post cards for the children at the local hospital. This is in addition to the great things that JRFH does to enhance our program. You can also do the Hoops for Heart in the Elementary School! Please check out www.heart.org/jump or www.heart.org/hoops
