Utah Core State Standards for Physical Education
At Ensign, The Physical Education program follows the Utah State Standards for Physical Education. Below are the standards and the basic skills taught. In addition, are activities, stunts, and games that help teach these standards to the students that we do in PE.
Kindergarten-Grade 6 Grade Skill Development
Standard 1: Students will achieve a level of competency in motor skills and movement patterns.
Kindergarten-Grade 6 Skill development includes various locomotor and non-locomotor skills. Locomotor skills, which include walking, hopping, galloping, running, sliding, skipping, leaping, and jumping, are the foundation of movement. Non-locomotor skills using balance and weight transfer include curling, stretching, twisting, and bending. Competency progresses into manipulative skills such as catching, rope jumping, underhand and overhand throwing, dribbling, passing, and receiving a ball with hands or feet.
Standard 2: Students will apply knowledge to attain efficient movement and performance.
Students will use space, pathways, shapes, levels, speed, direction, force, and strategy for effective movement in an activity setting.
Standard 3: Students will understand the components necessary to maintain a healthy level of fitness to support physical activity.
Students will understand how applied knowledge of physical activity and nutrition can result in overall wellness.
Standard 4: Students will develop cooperative skills and positive personal behavior through communication and respect for self and others.
This includes Students exhibiting personal responsibility in a group setting by working well with others, accepting feedback, and understanding how rules and etiquette contribute to a safe and enjoyable environment.
Standard 5: Students will appraise the personal value of the physical activity as a tool for wellness, challenges, and interact with appropriate social skills with friends and family.
The goal is for students to identify activities that bring satisfaction and pleasure through participation and reflect how physical activity promotes a lifetime of wellness.
Although the Standards are the same for each grade level the child's ability to do them grows. For example, a child locomotor and non-locomotor skills become more developed each year. The child's understanding also develops so what is expected of a Kindergarten in the standard will look different than what is expected from a student in Grade 6.
Students are encouraged to do their personal best, be open to learning new things, and have fun.

Student and Parent Pedagogy
It is always fun to learn a new game, learn some new dance moves, or receive insights about Physical Education from students and parents. If you have something they would like to contribute to the classes, please feel welcome to contact me, and together we can discuss the possibilities and logistics of adding them to our year of learning.
