This thirty-six week K-5 curriculum is carefully aligned with both NASPE and Pennsylvania state physical education standards. The curriculum is designed to introduce a variety of movement types, strategies, principles, and concepts related to achieving one's physical, cognitive, and behavioral best. The curriculum model used is a mixture of a skill theme approach, outdoor and adventure education, and teaching games for understanding, all in an

attempt to produce and develop physically literate individuals. Meeting the standardized needs of the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains, this curriculum focuses especially on psychomotor and affective skills, both of which are extremely important at the elementary level. The layout and sequence of the units work to introduce and allow exploration and practice of basic locomotor movements, as well as concepts and principles of becoming physically fit and physically literate. As the sequence continues, students continue to be introduced to more diverse and complex skills and activities. The final two units focus on teamwork, cooperation, strategizing, and various activities that promote lifetime physical fitness. To allow for many activities and concepts to be introduced, most activities listed are covered during one class period. More time has been allotted to activities whose successful completion relates to the effectiveness of future lessons (ex: The concepts of chasing, fleeing, and dodging have each been allotted a full class period because they are concepts that must be understood to find success in future lessons.). Activities such as sliding, galloping, and skipping are vastly important, but will be taught in the same class period as they can and will be reviewed and revisited throughout the remainder of the curriculum. The health and physical education professional reserves the right to revisit concepts and teach activities again to ensure students are progressing at developmentally appropriate rates, as long as local, state, and national standards are met.
