Physical Education

Wharton Jr. High School

Coach Becker   

Activities

            This year in Physical Education, we will be stressing fitness and wellness.   They will also take the Fitness Gram Test for fitness.  Standards for the test will be used as part of skills testing.  We will also be teaching some  recreational sports.  These are activities that they can do throughout their lifetime to keep physically fit.  Some examples are volleyball, basketball, tennis, nutrition, and wellness.  Each six weeks they will be taught these activities.

                                       

Supplies

            Each student can bring shorts or sweat pant, T-shirts, and tennis shoes to class.  They will be issued a lock and a locker to keep them in, if they need it.   It is important that students bring these supplies because the activities we participate in require them to be able to move comfortably.   The proper attire also helps prevent injuries. 

 

Grading

            Participation is 35% of your child’s grade.  Your child will be given a written and skills test that will make up 50% of his/her grade.  The last 15% of your child’s grade is based on his/her six weeks test.
