Track and Field for K- 5th grade

I have asked the students to go home and tell their parents what they are learning to do in PE. They have been learning how to participate in the following events: javelin, discus, shot put, hurdles, running long jump, and the baton relay race. The students are meeting the Next Generation Standards in Physical Education by demonstrating how to run and hurdle a succession of low to medium levels of obstacles (PE.M.1.12) The students are also demonstrating how to throw a object for distance using the correct technique and accuracy (PE.M.1.8) These events will be the theme for Field Day. Field Day is scheduled for June 7th-9th.
