Media Center
Laguna Road School Media Center operates from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.each school day. It is open for the students before school, both recesses and sometimes during lunch recess. There are two main sections of our Media Center - The Library and the Performing Arts Center.
All classes are scheduled for one-half hour sessions each week with a storytime for students grade K-2 and library skills lessons for all grade 3 students. There are forty 5th and 6th grade trained library helpers who are scheduled to work for one-half hour a week in the library. The Speech and Language Specialist, Resource Program Specialist, and Physical Education Teacher have offices in the Media Center.
In the Performing Arts Center of the Media Center we have a large area which can be used for viewing the large screen TV for educational videos. Approximately 125 students can occupy the area for play practice, assemblies for grade levels, and for orchestral/instrumental music classes every Thursday. Also the All the Arts for All the Kids dance classes are held in the Performing Arts Center on some Mondays & Fridays. Evening play performances, PTA evening meetings, volunteer meetings, Boy Scout and Girl Scout meetings, staff meetings and community meetings are also held in this area. It is a very busy place!
Mrs. Eleanor Johnson, our Media Assistant keeps the schedule for all the events in the Media Center - often she has to juggle music classes, hearing testing, vision screening, class plays and many more events, not to mention that we have to use the Media Center during rainy days. Mrs. Johnson also hosts an Author of the Month program, which one student from each class reads their written stories, prose, or essays to each other and enjoy simple refreshments. Then Mrs. Johnson displays their work and picture in the library.
Some events scheduled for this year include: the sixth grade play, as well as Book Fairs in October and May. In January, the fourth graders performed at the evening PTA meeting. In March we have the Day of the Reader when members of the community come to our school to read to the students in all grade levels. In June there are many important events scheduled - Volunteer Tea, when the teachers & staff of Laguna Road honor our parent volunteers, DARE graduation for sixth graders and various promotional ceremonies celebrating the end of another school year.
Physical Education
Physical Education is an essential and integral part of the curriculum and is taught by a certificated teacher with the assistance of two instructional assistants. All students in grades one through six participate in a hundred minutes of physical education each week. The physical education program helps children to understand the principles behind movement so they can transfer their knowledge to new skills, to understand and to become physically fit, and to value activity to fulfill the ultimate goal of lifelong participation in physical activity. The curriculum is comprehensive, sequential, developmentally appropriate and is matched to the California Framework for Physical Education. In the primary grades there is a strong emphasis on movement education, learning about the body, the space in which it moves, and how to move it well in relationship to itself, others, and with equipment. This sets the foundation for successful participation in physical activities in the upper grades. Students use skills to move more efficiently and effectively and to take responsiblity for a healthy lifestyle.
Physical Fitness is a focus of the physical education program. Students learn the importance of attaining and maintaining a healthy level of fitness. They learn the components of health-related physical fitness and through the application of the principles of exercise begin to be more physically fit. The introduction of heart monitors help students to fully understand the relationship between exercise and a healthy cardiovascular system. The state mandated fitness test is given to all upper grade students in the fall. Students set fitness goals, develop a plan to reach those goals, participate in activities to increase fitness throughout the year and are retested in the spring. These fitness tests, with goals, are inserted in the students' portfolios.
A wide variety of activities provide opportunities for children to be successful in the program. They are specifically designed to foster cooperation rather than competition and stress personal growth. Students work with others, developing those social skills necessary to work in small and larger groups, to be a leader and a team player, and to work with other students of varying ability as they learn to accept individual differences and increase appreciation for others. To support the movement based program, a range of equipment is used in basic movement skills, sports, games, and rhythm and dance. Students participate in special events such as Jump Rope for Heart (sponsored by the American Heart Association), the Hoop Shoot Contest sponsored by the Elks Club, and a program entitled Creative Athletics. A pilot program in physical fitness which resulted in an educational video, "Kids on The Move," was filmed at Laguna Road using upper grade students. There will be an additional event this year, a jog-a-thon, which will not only promote fitness, but the proceeds will be given to the PTA.
Healthy Heart Week
Healthy Heart Week (HHW) at Laguna Road School is a school-wide, hands-on, integrated curriculum involving partnerships with medical, eductional and community agencies which encourages all students to develop physical and mental strategies to internalize and maintain a healthy life style. It began as an outgrowth of ten successful years of participation in Jump Rope for Heart, the National American Heart Association student health program. Recognizing that students were understanding the importance of physical activity on their health and beginning to make changes in health habits, it seemed important to intentionally address a wider range of health issues affecting young children and adults.
The overarching goal of Healthy Heart Week is to develop, in each student, a healthy physical and mental awareness which promotes lifelong commitment to physical well being. The unique program encourages individual responsibility for choices that promote healthy living in response to current research and data which show that American youth continue to become more overweight while their level of physical activity appears to decrease. This exemplary program is hands on; integrates all curricular areas; networks with regional community health agencies, the medical community, and Fullerton School District nurses and food services; it involves the total school community, all students, staff and parents.
