Learning Activities Grade 4 and 5 Suggested Learning Activities for Kindergarten and 1st Grade students during the COVID-19 school closure. Seattle Public Schools is committed to making its online information accessible and usable to all people, regardless of ability or technology. Meeting web accessibility guidelines and standards is an ongoing process that we are consistently working to improve. While Seattle Public Schools endeavors to only post documents optimized for accessibility, due to the nature and complexity of some documents, an accessible version of the document may not be available. In these limited circumstances, the District will provide equally effective alternate access. Due to the COVID-19 closure, teachers were asked to provide packets of home activities. This is not intended to take the place of regular classroom instruction but will help supplement student learning and provide opportunities for student learning while they are absent from school. Assignments are not required or graded. Because of the unprecedented nature of this health crisis and the District’s swift closure, some home activities may not be accessible. If you have difficulty accessing the material or have any questions, please contact your student’s teacher. lit:t SEATTLE Week of March 30 - April 3 £11.I',LIC Grade Levels: 4 and 5 SCHOOLS Dear Students and Families: In the following learning activities, you will find materials to practice skills from English language Arts, Math, Science, Arts and Physical Education for grade levels 4 and 5.

'-----···----··"··•-' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Dear students and family members, The physical education team in Seattle Public Schools continue to work with resources to help you stay physically active and healthy while our schools are closed. In order to meet physical education goals during this time students must be physically active for 60 minutes each day. Use this physical activity log to record your activity time. Remember, activity time doesn't have to happen all at once. You can add up your total activity throughout the day to equal 60 minutes. Students, at the end of each day ask a family member to sign next to the day's total activity. Then, return the finished log to your physical education teacher when school is back in session. Each week 12 new Physical Education Videos will be created and made available on SPS TV (channel 28). These videos will be shown at specific times throughout the day. Each video has been created to provide an opportunity for safe, developmentally appropriate physical activity within the home environment. 1n addition, each video includes grade-level appropriate academic content. Examples of topics for each week could include cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular endurance, healthy balanced diet, skeletal system and various other learnings that students receive in our effective physical education classrooms in Seattle Public Schools In physical education students can continue to expand their learning by using all domains of language. Here are a few suggestions for the activities that are on the Drop Everything And Move (DEAM) calendar. Draw a picture ofyourself doing an activity and label. Tell step-by-step instructions on how to do one ofthe activities. Write step-by-step instructions on how to do one ofthe activities. Explain how you might change this activity to be easier. Or harder. Predict ifyou think this will be challenging for you. Stay active and stay well. Sincerely, Lori S Dunn PreK-12 Physical Education and Health Literacy Program Manager SPS By staying active and completing this physical activity log you're meeting the following SHAPE America National Physical Education Grade-level Outcomes: Grades K-5 (Physical Activity Knowledge) Standard 3 [E1 .K,2,3a,5] rdentifies active play opportunities outside physical education class (K); Describes physical activities for participation outside ,physical education class (e.g., before and after school, at home, at the park, with friends, with the family) (2); Charts participation in physical activities outside physical education class (3a); Charts and analyzes physical activity outside physical education class for fitness benefits of activities (5). All Grades Physical Education Seattle Public Sclwols Children and adolescents ages 6 through 17 years should do 60 minutes (one hour) or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily. It is important to provide young people opportunities and encouragement to participate in physical activities that are appropriate for their age, that are enjoyable, and that offer variety. • Aerobic: Most of the 60 minutes or more per day should be either moderate- or vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity and should include vigorous-intensity physical activity on at least 3 days a week. Some aerobic activities include brisk walking, running, climbing stairs, jumping jacks, playing basketball, and dancing. • Muscle-strengthening: As part of their 60 minutes or more ofdaily physical activity, children and adolescents should include muscle-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days a week. Some muscle-strengthening includes squats, leg lifts, and sit-ups. • Bone-strengthening: As part of their 60 minutes or more of daily physical activity, children and adolescents should include bone-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days a week. Some bone-strengthening activities include push-ups, push-ups against a wall, and jumping. A single session of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity can reduce blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity, improve sleep, reduce anxiety symptoms, and improve some aspects of cognition on the day that it is performed. Most of these improvements become even larger with the regular performance of moderate-to vigorous physical activity. Other benefits, such as disease risk reduction and improved physical function, accrue within days to weeks after consistently being more physically active Intensity of Physical Activity Intensity refers to the rate at which the activity is being performed or magnitude of the effort required to perform an activity or exercise. It can be thought of "How hard a person works to do the activity." The intensity ofdifferent forms of physical activity varies between people. The intensity of physical activity depends on an individual's previous exercise experience and their relative level of fitness.
