In my first year of teaching PE, I needed some help in figuring out how to meet all of California’s State Standards (they were new this year). This book became a valuable resource in planning out my classes.
I used their plan and then tailored it to meet my classes (I taught nine classes K-6). I was able to identify which standard the plan met and could cut and paste to meet the needs of my students. AS only having an outdoor area to work in, I was able to use most of the plans with what equipment I had. It did lack in outdoor activities for limited areas, but I used other resources for that.

I am a first-time PE teacher and have found this resource to be extremely helpful. Lesson plans are outlined in detail beginning with the warm up, to key skills, to a cool down. Lessons are targeted for various age levels. It is well-organized and full of amazing PE lessons. I love the warm up ideas!
