Dumas Technology Academy

Dear Parents Of Dunne Warriors,

It's time to get in shape by participating in exciting, game activity, and a healthy physical fitness curriculum at Edward F. Dunne Academy. Under the instructions of Physical Education teacher John Fulton, students will be able to accomplish these goals with the use of technology and classroom activites. To have a total healthy mind and body, students must dress for, and participate in gym activites. Daily lesson plans are designed to achieve the utmost ability of each student. Routines and rules are established early to provide a maximum amount of time for each class activity. Provisions are made for individual differences, such as medical issues. Each lesson contains a five to seven minutes of conditioning exercises (warm-up), eight to twelve minutes of basic skills review, and twelve to twenty-five minutes of activity play.

 

Technology in Physical Education and Health will cover a wide variety of subject matter. Students will be able to explore the many exciting web sites to help develop healthy eating and exercise habits. Technology assignments will challenge students physically and mentally. Mypyramid.com is and excellent web site to discover the balance between food and physical activity.

 

Physical Education and Health grades are an important part of a students's report card . Factors such as participation, effort, preparation, sportsmanship, attendance, achievement are considered. Physical Education provides opportunity for each student to develop as a person. The uniqueness of Physical Education, as an active learning laboratory provides an opportunity to develop desirable character and social traits as well as define responsibilites toward physical growth and maintenance of fitness throughout life.
