WELCOME TO MRS. BAKER'S PE & HEALTH PAGE This year we will be working on many different things in PE and Health Class. 6th grade physical education classes will be working on cooperative games and then prepare for the CT Physical Fitness Test during the first few weeks of school. The mile run, sit and reach, push-up and curl-up test are completed will take place during the last week in September and first weeks in October. Once the fitness test is completed we will be working on units in Frisbee, tumbling, volleyball, basketball, juggling and fitness. Each student will have an opportunity to learn how to use and try the fitness equipment in our fitness room. Each unit will provide students with the opporunity to assess their own growth and knowledge through journal/reflection writing, quizzes, skill checklists and fitness logs.
