Curriculum Components:

K-2 Manual with Instructional Media Disk: SPARK has created a three-ring binder with over 400 pages and 16 chapters of engaging, age-appropriate activities, instructional materials, and resources. The SPARK K-2 manual includes 10 dynamic instructional units: Building a Foundation, Parachute, Manipulatives, Stunts and Tumbling, Throwing and Catching, Jumping, Dribbling and Trapping, Dance, Volleying and Striking, and Games. Each curricular component is presented in scope and sequence via daily lesson plans that are aligned to NASPE National Standards, which are clearly visable on each page. ASAP's (Active Soon As Possible), provide an enjoyable, active warm-up before the main lesson.

The SPARK K-2 curriculum also contains academic integration tips (with a special emphasis on literacy), social skills themes by grade level, and challenging extensions for each activity. Every movement lesson shows the Standard(s) addressed and provides useful tips from teachers who have instructed it before. The Limited Space chapter contains activities teachers can do in their classrooms, and the Recess Activities section helps promote movement throughout the school day.

Each K-2 manual comes with an "Instructional Media Disc" that provides approximately 300 skill and task cards, assessment tools, pedometer activities, home plays, and much more! All student-centered activities are English on one side and Spanish on the other. Download the contents yourself, or purchase the "SPARKfolio" and have it organized, color-coded, and laminated for you.
