Physical and Health Education


Welcome to our Physical Education and Health website!  Mr. Valencia (K-4) and Mr. Nowak (5-8) will be teaching both PE and Health to our Bateman students this school year.

Mr. [email protected]

Physical Education 
Students participate in a wide variety of activities during PE classes in order to learn and practice skills associated with different units of instruction throughout the year.  Each unit lasts approximately 5 weeks, and the skills and activities are aligned with ISBE and NASPE standards for Physical Education.  These units include: soccer, floor hockey, basketball, throwing and catching, kicking and punting, volleyball, fitness, track and field, and softball.  Additional activities, such as team handball, are incorporated as they align with skill instruction during the units.  Students develop and refine motor skills, build strength and endurance, learn team building and social skills, and learn the value of being physically active for life, not just during PE class.

A day in PE class begins with Mr. Valencia and Mr. Nowak welcoming students at the entrance to the gymnasium.  From there, the students go to their half of the gym.  Mr. Valencia teaches on one half of the gym, while Mr. Nowak teaches on the other half.  Students begin with walking and running to warm-up their bodies for exercise.  This is followed by the students leading exercises and stretching.  From there, the students review the content and language objectives that are posted on the white board.  We discuss these objectives in detail and review what the lesson will look like.  Students then complete skill practice activities and followed by small group or large group games.  During the last few minutes of class, the students and teacher review the day, discuss the key concepts that were learned, and answer closing assessment questions.  Students are then dismissed to their next class.
Health Education
Students learn about their bodies and what they need to do on a daily basis to maintain optimal health.  Similar to Physical Education, Health units last approximately 5 weeks.  All content and activities are age and developmentally appropriate for our students, and are aligned with the National Health Education Standards.  Units of instruction include bullying and bullying prevention, self-esteem and body image, character education and social-emotional learning, personal hygiene, nutrition education, sexual health education, and body systems.
All grades from Kindergarten through 8th grade will complete the Sexual Health Education Unit.  This unit of instruction is mandated in the State of Illinois and in CPS.  A list of topics will be sent home with the students.  All topics are specific to each grade level and are age and developmentally appropriate.  Sexual Health Education generally takes place during the 3rd and 4th Quarters.
