Lesson Plans
Throughout my college career, I have been held at the highest standard for creating Lesson Plans. Penn State uses one of the most intricate Lesson Plan formats, and I was fortunate to have the opportunity to learn how to properly use it.
Here are some sample lesson plans created during my Penn State career.

At my school we were fortunate to have a fully functioning fitness center received from a grant. I also created and administered a chart for the students to fill out as they complete the fitness circuit so that they are more accountable for their work and it is easier to witness the students' growth.

Fitness Unit
These lessons was used at Our Lady of Victory Catholic School in State College, PA. The grade levels taught were 4th and 6th grade; each grade containing a little over 30 students. Our main focal points were to incorporate aerobic fitness, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility into the classroom.
The lesson plan was created for the 4th grade age level and then modified to meet the ability of a 6th grader. This was my first real elementary-age school child experience and first real test of a modified lesson plan.
The lessons below are listed as 4th grade and 6th grade, respectfully.
