MS. SANDINO'S '"HEART OF GOLD" AWARD

The Heart of Gold Award

For the 2013-2014 school year I want to implement The Heart of Gold Award in Physical Education for my 5th and 6th grade students. This is a very meaningful and honorable award due to what it signifies. The Heart of Gold Award is based on Hellison's Model (5 levels) of Teaching Responsibility through Physical Activity." The recipient of this award has the following qualities and characteristics: works with everyone in the class willingly, compliments and encourages others, takes care of equipment, asks and provides assistance to teacher and other students, concerned with the progress of others as well as him- or herself and goes the extra mile. This award will be given out at the end of the year, so stay tuned!
