Group II – Wellness
Grade 1
Kindergarten wellness objectives focus on the development of social skills, a basic understanding of personal health issues, injury prevention, the exploration of
nutritious foods and the development of motor skills and movement concepts which are critical to future learning. Learning opportunities should focus on concrete
experiences and provide a nurturing environment that promotes positive interaction with adults as well as other children and builds a foundation for practicing good
health habits. The West Virginia Standards for 21st Century Learning include the following components: 21st Century Content Standards and Objectives and 21st
Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills, technology and
objectives.
Note: §18-2-7a (1) required Kindergarten– “Not less than thirty minutes of physical education, including physical exercise and age-appropriate physical
activities, for not less than three days a week.” “(c) Enrollment in physical education classes and activities required by the provisions of this section shall not
exceed, and shall be consistent with, state guidelines for enrollment in all other subjects and classes: Provided, That schools which do not currently have the
number of certified physical education teachers, do not currently have the required physical setting or would have to significantly alter academic offerings to
meet the physical education requirements may develop alternate programs that will enable current staff, physical settings and offerings to be used to meet the
physical education requirements established herein.”
