The goal of this course is to increase a student’s sense of personal confidence and to view themselves as capable and competent. It should increase mutual support within a group and enhance a participants fitness levels. As a group is developed gains are made in problem solving, cooperation, respect and self-esteem. .All activities are taught through participation in certain games and problem solving challenges.
Students will be required to change their clothing daily into shorts and a “T” shirt so that personal hygiene is reinforced with staying clean. If a child does not dress out for class he/she will earn a zero for that day and will have to walk around the gym for the hour so that they get some exercise. When a student receives five zeroes for not dress out for class he/she will fail the class.
Students are graded on their participation and their ability to work within a group. Each week participation points are earned.
By the end of this class students should gain knowledge and skills which promote positive cooperative attitudes, self-responsibility, positive social interaction and group problem solving skills.
