e-learning physical education resources

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools will be closed through April 6, 2020. This page is designed to provide students in grades K-5, as well as their families, an opportunity to stay active during this time away from school.
Our beliefs as a district is that Physical Education is the academic building block that presents students with the opportunity to grasp the concept of how the body works in relation to movement and motor skills. Physical Activity is the application component. It allows the student the chance to take what was learned in the Physical Education setting and apply it in a real world setting (i.e. recess, sports, or outdoor recreation). It is through Physical Education and Physical Activity that students are able to explore, evaluate, and learn just how their bodies move. This is the point where they can arrive at the conclusion of how to apply different movements and concepts in order to become independent thinkers and independent doers which, in turn, heightens their ability to participate in physical activity for a lifetime.
GMSD's Physical Education programs are comprehensive programs that are standards based and objective driven. The Physical Education program is based on 5 main components, which are; Physical Education, Physical Activity, Before & After school programs, Staff Involvement, and Family and Community Engagement. It is through these components that we are able to deliver a program that meets the needs of all leaners and reach the whole child. Through regular physical activity and Physical Education, students will be equipped with the skills needed to develop life-enhancing and self-rewarding experiences that contribute to their ability to be healthier members of society. Students are challenged to participate in daily activities that will augment their health choices. The intent is to provide a variety of health-enhancing activities in an attempt to foster lifelong active individuals.

School Closure & Distance Learning Program
Dear Parents,
School closures and distance learning are never the preferred option when it comes to physical education. However, I am confident that our community will continue to be strong and stay healthy. I have put together this distance learning packet in hopes that our community can continue to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

pokemon go
home edition
Here’s how to catch a Pokemon:
- Find a Pokemon hiding in your house.
- Look at the exercise associated to that Pokemon.
- Decide which type of Pokeball you will use to catch the Pokemon (i.e. Pokeball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball). Each Pokeball gives you a certain amount of coin flips.
- Perform the correct amount of repetitions of the exercise to throw that Pokeball.
- Once you have completed the exercises, start flipping your Pokecoin (keeping in mind the amount of flips you are allowed to use based on which ball you threw).
- If you get a “heads” within the flips you have earned, you’ve caught that Pokemon!
- If you do not get a “heads” within the flips you have earned, you’ve missed and have not caught the Pokemon.
- You may not try to catch that Pokemon again until a) the next day or b) you’ve caught a different Pokemon.
- If you catch a Pokemon, add its information to your Pokedex!
- Keep going until you’ve caught them all!
