The primary purpose of St. Ignatius Physical Education Program is
the development of students’ awareness of the benefits of
physical fitness and healthy nutrition. Each student
will have the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and
alertness, without undo fatigue and with ample energy to enjoy
leisure time in exercise.The students will be introduced to
health, nutrition, calisthenics, rules of sports and games and
class cooperation. These topics will be taught in the
classroom and gymnasium, as well as other outside
activities.
Health
Students will be taught proper Hygiene and Body awareness to
prevent commonly transmitted viruses and bacteria (common cold,
head lice and rashes). Cleanliness will be the most important
focus in this topic. At the conclusion of each class five minutes
will be allowed to clean up and freshen, for their next class.
This part of the program will be one fourth of the grade for the
class.
Nutrition
Students will be taught how to use the combination of the
five food groups. We include physical activity choices
that impact their health today and in the future. We use the
California Dairy Council guidelines.These guidelines teaches the
best way to give our bodies the balanced nutritions that it
needs by eating a variety of nutrient-packed foods every day.
Calisthenics
Calisthenics will begin the first session of the week. This will
include a cardio activity such as running or skipping rope.
Students will learn that physical fitness is the result of a
strong body and mind. This part of the program will make up one
fourth of the grade for the class.
Rules of the Game
Rules of the Game will be the structure to play any game. Several
games will be part of the Physical Education Program. The
students will participate in physical play and will be well
versed on the rules. Students will understand how to play games
with boundaries. An emphasis on the rules will result in a safe
and a cooperative game. This two-part process of play and rules
will have a bearing on one fourth of the grade.
Class Cooperation
Class Cooperation or conduct and effort are how the student
demonstrates the game in a behavioral manner. Our criteria to
determine good conduct are attitude, fair play, cooperation and
respect to a fellow students. All these factors will make up the
last of the four parts, for the grade requirements for this
class.
All classes will conclude with stretching and a prayer.
