Week 10 Case Study
The target for these activities will be third graders ranging from 7 to 9 years old. There are many factors that should be considered in this case such as the available facilities and equipment, the weather or season, the number of students that will be participating in the class, the special needs of some of the students in the class, etc.
Fitness Evaluation
Given the situation, the usual assessment for fitness cannot be implemented especially because of the increased number of students and the volunteer system that is occurring for the physical education of the children. However, it is a priority to check on the special needs of the participants to ensure safety and accommodation for each one in the class (Hodge et al., 2017).
Physical Education and Fitness Activities
This will be a 10-week program that will consist of 30 to 45 minutes of activity per week. The activities can be done in different orders, depending on the availability of the location and the season (summer, fall, winter) that the activities are being implemented.
