For this Performance Task, you will create a three-part newsletter to  share with families offering insights about the importance of fostering  physical fitness for young children, information on developmentally  appropriate physical activities, and ideas for activities that  families can do together.

Before submitting your Assessment, carefully review the rubric. This  is the same rubric the assessor will use to evaluate your submission and  it provides detailed criteria describing how to achieve or master the  Competency. Many students find that understanding the requirements of  the Assessment and the rubric criteria help them direct their focus and  use their time most productively.

The Children’s Clinic at your community health center is expanding  its outreach to parents and families. They are committed to  communicating the importance of physical activity for young children and  sharing what families can do to promote developmentally appropriate  movement and exercise. As part of this initiative, you have been asked  to create a newsletter that will provide information, motivation, and  practical tools to involve families and help children achieve the  critical benefits gained by physical fitness.

In developing the newsletter, keep in mind that your goal is not only  to help families understand the benefits of developmentally appropriate  physical activity for young children, but also to encourage families to  engage in activities with their children. With this in mind, consider  the roadblocks that busy families often face in terms of time and  opportunity. The information you provide needs to be engaging, supported  by evidence and research, constructive, and relevant to all ages/stages  of early childhood.

In a newsletter format, address the following:

1. Explain the importance of fostering physical fitness for young children.
2. Suggest at least two developmentally appropriate physical activities for each  stage—infant, toddler, preschooler, and school age (K-3). Describe how  the physical environment should be arranged to support these activities.  Include a description of materials and/or equipment needed.
3. Suggest at least two indoor and two outdoor activities families can  do together to promote physical fitness and positive attitudes toward  physical activity. Include at least three insights about how children’s  attitudes about physical activity are influenced.

Submission Length: Approximately 3-4 pages in newsletter format.
