School: Stony Hill Elementary Lesson #: 2 Facilities: Gym Class Size: 25

Grade: 3 Unit/Theme: Rock Wall Generic Level: Pre-control/Control

Equipment: 4 cones, 15 hot spots, Rock wall

Focus of Lesson: 5 panel climb
Student Performance Objectives (SPO): National # ; MA CF #)
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
(P) climb across the rock wall by climbing across 5 panels without climbing off the wall
at least once by the end of class. (National # S1.E1.2, MA CF 2.2)
(C) explain the benefits we gain from using the rock wall by answering questions during
the closure. (National # S2.E1.2, MA CF 2.1)
(A) follow the rules of the rock wall by not breaking the rules 100% of the time
throughout the lesson. (National #: S5.E3.2, MA CF#: 2.7)
Check each objective – is it specific? Is it achievable? Is it developmentally
appropriate?
Teacher Performance Objectives – During the lesson the teacher will:
1. Use proper teacher positioning to be able to see the entire class throughout the
whole lesson.
2. Use CFU at least 4 times throughout the lesson including by having students
model specific behaviors.
Special Considerations – What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the
students in this class?
1. Students need to follow the rules due to the safety concerns involved with the
wall. If they cannot follow the rules they will lose their turn.
2. Space is limited. Students must be aware of their bodies and the movements
they are doing.
