This list represents a list of words that are used when discussing the variety of focus and subject matter in wellness/physical education classes. They are leveled in terms of educational grade level. Level 4 would be an 8thh grade level and into high school. Level 3 would be a mix of 7th and 8th grade classes with a few maybe used at the 6th grade level. Levels 1 and 2 would be primarily for the 6th grade classes. In the near future there will be some required class work that will have students visiting this page and choosing 2-3 words from the list and researching the definition, examples of what the word means, application and understanding of the word/term. Some of the words and/or terms could also serve as a spring board for some extra credit projects that are in the development stages right now.
