USD 491 Eudora Middle School

ContextEudora Middle School is located in Eudora Kansas. Eudora is home to

approximately 6,200 residence according to the 2013 senses. Eudora is a rural school district located in between Lawrence Kansas and the greater Kansas City area. The school’s population is around 370 students, with the vast majority being of Caucasian decent. Approximately 40 % of the students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Eudora’s schools attract some students every year from the larger surrounding towns, such as Kansas City and Lawrence.

Sandra Garner is in her tenth year as a physical educator. She attended and graduated from the University of Kansas. She has spent her entire career at Eudora Middle School. Not only does she teach physical education, but she is also the 7th grade health teacher. In addition, Mrs. Garner is the head 8th grade girl’s volleyball coach, as well an assistant high school track coach. She is one 26 teachers at Eudora Middle School.

Eudora Middle School is a sports based curriculum. Mrs. Garner focuses her lessons through sports models and typically begins her classes with a fitness warm-up. She believes that her physical education class needs to begin with a fitness warm-up because her class is the only time that most of her students receive physical activity during the day. Her health class and her PE course alternate every other day, so students generally engage in physical activity 90-135 minutes per week based on that weekly schedule, due to having either class two or three times per week. She assesses her students through informal observation.

When talking to Mrs. Garner, during our practicum, she informed us that several of her students engage in a minimal amount of physical activity outside of her class. Therefore, she feels it is highly necessary to get the students as many minutes of physical activity as possible during their 45-minute classes. Of her 45-minute classes, 10 minutes is taken for students dress in and out of their PE attire. In all of her classes the student’s abilities vary in skill level. The majority of her students appear to have well balanced skill levels in a variety of motor skills, however, there is always two or three students who have noticeable weaknesses in their motor skills.

Mission StatementOur mission is to create an environment where students feel comfortable and

safe to express themselves through physical activity. We strive for our students to learn the habits and importance of a healthy lifestyle. Not only do we want our students to be physically fit, but to also be physically literate. By having a classroom that fosters success and equality, we hope to instill these habits in their every day lives.

2. Safety PrecautionsWe will implement a firm dress code that the students must abide by for each day. The must wear athletic clothing and close-toed shoes. If the students to do not follow the dress code then they will be docked points from their daily grade. If we feel the student is dressed in an unsafe manner, then they will have to sit out and will receive no participation points for the day. We will be certified in all aspects of first aid. In addition, we will require students to submit updated physically each year, as well as any health issues that could potentially cause themselves harm during PE (ex. allergies, asthma, disabilities). Each quarter we will hold an equipment check and facility check

in order to make sure our environment is safe for participation throughout the school year. Lastly, we will implement the school wide tornado, fire, and intruder drills. We will host random situational drills throughout the year to help the students and faculty to respond quicker to the situations if they happen.

B. Physical Activity During SchoolWe will create a list of “Brain Breaks” that teachers will be able to choose from and adapt to their specific class. Every hour students will need to receive at least one brain break activity. These activities will last three to five minutes depending on which one is chosen by the teacher. These activities will be preformed at the same time, in every classroom, throughout the day. Teachers and students will know when to preform “Brain Breaks” because a specific bell will go off over the intercom.

C. Physical Activity Before and After SchoolSwimming Club- Swimming is a sport that can includes a variety of activities in itself. For example, people can participate in synchronized swimming, diving, racing, snorkeling, and water polo just to name a few. This will be a before school activity on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:30-7:45am. At the end of the year there will be an aquatic Olympics which will consist of four different events (Water Polo, races, diving, and synchronized swimming).In-line Skating Club- In-line Skating club will be similar to a marathon club. The club will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, after school, from 4:00- 5:00 pm. Students will skate the course, outlined by myself. The course will be outdoors (around the school grounds) and will be approximately 1.5 miles long. Throughout the course, there will be several obstacles to overcome such as: cones, barriers, and noodles to jump over and go under. Students who reach the set miles (40 miles) for the year will be eligible for prizes (Dick Sporting Goods gift cards, new pair of in-line skates, cash, Fitbit, etc.), which are donated by the community.

D. Staff InvolvementTeachers Turn to Cook: Teachers will be placed into groups based on the subject they teach. Once a month, each group of teachers will have to cook a healthy meal for the rest of the staff. The first year, teachers may have to take money out of their own pocket to pay for the meal. However, by the second year we are hoping to receive a grant, which will allow us to give each group enough money to make the meal. The goal is to provide the staff with ideas on how to implement healthy meals into their own homes. Staff Intramurals: Staff will be able to participate in the same sports as the students are. For example basketball, soccer, badminton, etc. Each game a teacher participates in their name will be put in a drawing. At the end of each semester one teacher will win a $100 gift card. Also, the champions of each

sport will play the student champions after each season is over.

E. Family and Community InvolvementActivity Nights (Winter)- Every two weeks, the school gym and cafeteria will host an “Activity Night”. On one side of the gym there will be a dance with a DJ playing music. On the other side of the gym there will be various games and activities that students and family members can partake in. Down the hall in the cafeteria will be a set of booths promoting healthy eating, living, active lifestyles. For example, YMCA, organic cooks, cross-fit gym owners, and nutritionists will encourage others to partake in their specialized field. In addition, there will be healthy snacks provided for the students and family.Field Days (Spring)- We will develop a team to help us set up a variety of outdoor activities, which will push students and family members to get active together. Each activity will have a sign stating what the activity is and its intensity level (low, mid, or high). This will give students the opportunity to explain to their parents what this is if they do not already know. School Potluck (Fall)- At the beginning of each year, student’s families and staff will come together to meet each other and share healthy meals. Each student family and or staff member will be required to bring a particular dish. We will encourage them to bring health meals and/or snacks (NO UNHEALTHY DESSERTS).5 Recreational Venues: Open track and field, Community Pool, Community Health Club, Baseball/Softball facility, Local Lake
