2. College and Career Readiness Skill • Formerly known as Common Core Skills • Math • Literacy • Speaking • Listening • Reading • Writing • You can find more information on the standards http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/

3. Incorporating College and Career Readiness Skills • Ideas to integrate literacy skills into your phyiscal education lessons • Reading- Word Walls, Short Articles, Station Signs-Directions, More information, Vocabulary • Writing- Thinking Maps, Exit Tickets, Higher Order Thinking Questions • Listening- Directions, Reading students active books, Partner sharing activities • Speaking- Answering questions, Partner or small group discussions

4. Incorporating College and Career Readiness Skills • Math • Measurement • Operation and Algebraic Thinking • Geometry • Numbers and Operation (Fractions) • Counting • Common Core Standards Integration Form

5. Cultural Arts Team Minutes – Week of Sept. 9-13

6. Word Wall

7. Thinking Maps

8. Literacy Activity Ideas • Read a book to the class and have the students act out the movements. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.K.10Actively engage in group reading activities with purpose and understanding • Example- Count the Monkeys by Mac Barnett and Kevin Cornell • Create a Locomotor Sequence, Jump Rope Sequence, Movement Story using a Flow Map CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.1.3 Write narratives in which they recount two or more appropriately sequenced events, include some details regarding what happened, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide some sense of closure • Use the overhand throw to hit letters on the wall to reviewing spelling words or site words CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1.bRecognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters.

9. Literacy Activity • Horsing Around with Verbs • Common Core – CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.1.cUse singular and plural nouns with matching verbs in basic sentences • Grade 4 – 8 • Equipment – Station signs with directions and pictures, cones • Station 1 – The dog is running after the ball. The ball is at Station 2 so pretend you are a dog and perform the verb to get there. • Station 2 – The bunny was jumping around the field to find the colorful eggs. The different colored eggs are at Station 3 so pretend you are a bunny and perform the verb to get there. • Station 3 – The horse is galloping to the stable because he does not want to get wet in the rain. His stable is over at Station 4 so pretend you are the horse and perform the verb to get there. • And so on….

10. Scrabble • Common Core-CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1.bRecognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters. • Equipment – wooden blocks with letters (like scrabble tiles), poly spots • Letter blocks are spread out in center of gym. Students work in small groups on poly spots in a circle around tiles. Students take turns running into center to get a letter. When the team has enough tiles, they begin building words. Words must be 3 letters long. • Teacher choices: • Blind choice or students can search for letter they need • How long is word • Point system for words (if using scrabble, points are on tiles) • Academic vocabulary

11. Adverb Warm-Up Activity • Common core – CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.3.1.aExplain the function of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in general and their functions in particular sentences • Equipment – index cards with adverbs written on them • Students get an index card. Teacher calls out a locomotor movement and the students do the verb based on the adverb that is on their card. For example, my card says “slowly” and the teacher says “walk.” I would walk around the gym slowly. • Adverb examples: • Slowly • Quickly • Lazily • Clumsily • Happily

12. Getting Around the Island • Common Core: recognizing and performing academic vocabulary. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.6Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts. • Students read the sign and perform the locomotor movement. • One sign on each cone. Cones placed in 4 corners of gym. Each sign has 3 movements on it. Students perform first movement on sign while traveling to next cone, where they read the first movement and perform that to the next cone, and so on. When they return to the starting corner, they begin the second movement listed

13. Math Activity Ideas • Activity 1 (1st grade): Compose two dimensional shapes (1.G.A.2) Equipment – Jump ropes Students create different shapes using jump ropes, working independently, with a partner, or small group Activity 2 (3rd grade): Represent and Interpret Data (3.MD) Equipment – Beanbags in assorted colors Relay activity Have students collect beanbags in a relay game. Ask students to create a bar graph out of the bean bags they collected (students can determine categories to use for the graph – color, number/letter/shape on beanbag)

14. Math Activity Ideas • Activity 3 (5th grade) – Graph points on the coordinate plane to solve real-world and mathematical problems • Equipment – Pulse sticks, jump ropes, hoops, cones • Students rotate through each station with “Intensity” worksheet. They participate in the activity for 30 seconds then take their pulse by holding the pulse stick. Record on the sheet. • Data can be graphed in class (collaborate with classroom teacher). • Station activity • Jump rope station • Hula hoop station • Jumping station • Lunge station • Jumping jacks station

15. More Math Activity Ideas • Partner Challenge workout sheet • STOP WATCHES! Students will use them at each station. • Equipment: • Feather • Shapes (octagon, trapezoid, parallelogram, rhombus, square, circle) • Hula hoops • Balls • Scarves • Hurdles • Hopscotch pattern • Students complete worksheet by rotating through the stations
