We are excited that you are interested in implementing STEP Express in your classroom. This program is easy to implement and helps your 4th-graders to be more active.
This eight-week program contains three parts:
- Fitness challenge and tracking physical activity
Students participate in physical activity for eight weeks. Those who participate will receive a prize. And the schools with the most amount of physical activity will win a grand prize.
- Lesson plans
These lesson plans cover the entire 4th-grade physical education state core curriculum as well as parts of the health education core. It also introduces some of the social studies core (Asia) and math core (division and bar graphs). Do these lessons at your own pace. They do not have to be completed on a specific time table or concurrent with the eight-week Fitness Challenge.
- PE activities
The activities cover the physical education state core curriculum. SelectHealth provides schools with all the needed equipment. Do these activities at your own pace. Although these activities coincide with the lesson plans, they do not need to be completed with them.
