Foreword
The elementary school physical education program in the Baltimore County schools has continued to expand over the years to meet the needs of the pupils it serves. More physical education teachers have been employed; facilities have been improved and more equipment provided. Over the last few years, the scope of the elementary school program has been enlarged through the professional contributions of many elementary school physical education teachers and curriculum committees.
A GUIDE FOR ELIIENTARY SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS sets forth the point of view underlying the program, explains a number of administrative and procedural details, and offers an abundance of teaching suggestions. Although the guide reflects increased knowledge of children and new ideas in program and activities, it cannot be regarded as a complete, definitive guide to physical education instruction. It must be remembered that curriculum development is a constant ongoing process. Tomorrow's ideas should be better than today's, new thinking should stimulate new ways of working with children, and new activities should lead to an enriched program for the children in the Baltimore County elementary schools.
It is to this end that this guide has been prepared for the use of elementary school physical education teachers. A copy will also be available in each elementary school curriculum library, since it provides helpful information and suggestions to school administrators and classroom teachers.

TO THE TEACHER
Over the years many elementary school physical education teachers have made contributions in the development of the K-6 physical education program. This accumulated knowledge has been used to develop the present "Guide for the Elementary School Physical Education Program." A new concept of a "Base Program" has been incorporated into the program. As devisedothe Base Program will provide guidance in the organization of a sequential program of physical education designed to meet the needs of the children in your school. The Base Program might be considered as a minimum amount of material to he included in a yearly program. The guide also provides materials which can be used to further challenge and aid the children.
Assistance in the use of the Base Program and the planning required can be secured from your sehbol administrators, elementary school physical education supervisor and the area helping physical education teacher.
This guide has been designed to facilitate additions or reorganization of its content. All teachers are sincerely encouraged to add to the guide at their discretion.
The guide is the property of the Board of Education. Upon termination of employment the teacher may retain the contents but must return the binder to the Office of Physical Education of the Board of Education of Baltimore County.

POI YT Of VIE',1
Physical education is an integral and vital part of the total educational program, It :iris for the same goal that gives purpose to all the other learning experiences of the school - the development of the whole child. Because of the nature of its activities, physical education has unique opportunities to help develop the objectives and beliefs of the educational program of Baltimore County schools.1 Therefore:
WE BELIEVE that a sound physical education program should:
. be offered daily and in a sequential manner.
. be planned to meet a wide range of mental, physical, and social abilities of children.
. be flexible to allow for different community needs, school facilities and staff abilities.
. be based on the conviction that success breeds success.
. be vigorous enough to contribute to the improved fitness of all children,
. contribute to the understanding and improving of relationships between boys and girls.
. help children to understand and accept their own limitations and abilities.
. help children to be tolerant of the limitations and abilities of others.
. provide experiences that help children to adhere to acceptable cedes of behavior.
. help provide physical experiences that are lacking in today's society.
. provide a constructive outlet to help relieve the emotional tensions of children,
. provide children with the knowledge and skills which will help promote life-long habits of physical activity.
. instill in children an appreciation for physical activity and help them know the joy of movement.

WE ALSO BELIEVE that
411

concept.
play is the child's natural world of work.
. efficient use of the body can help each child approach his maximum potential.
. children learn through a variety of experiences involving all the senses.
. each child is individually important.
. undue tension and frustration impedes the child's ability to learn.
. programs which meet the needs of children help to promote self-discipline and self-direction.
