Great book to read about Physical Education in the Elementary School for children

[Dani]

This is a useful textbook for better understanding physical education for elementary students and how to teach it. It emphasizes the importance of PE as well as various techniques and pedagogy. It has many many sample lesson ideas and skill practice. The book is divided into seven sections: understanding the need for physical education, the instructional process, program implementation, personal health skills, motor skills, specialized motor skills, and lifetime activities and sports skills.

Why this area of schools is still underfunded is beyond me. Should we ever go back to the old days of great PE lessons, this has over 200 samples to use and how to assess them.

great ideas, great progression of skills.

Some good games and rhythms. Would be much more valuable if I was going into PE.
