Students in grades 1-4 attend Physical Education class one time each week for sixty minutes at a time. Kindergarten students attend Physical Education once each week for thirty minutes. During Physical Education classes, students are very active. They learn the importance of movement and work on many different developmentally appropriate activities to improve fitness, coordination, and to have fun. A significant part of our Physical Education curriculum also focuses on State Standards. Students learn to move their bodies in different ways and gain the skills to play games. Students acquire new movement concepts and implement strategies during games. Students understand how to become healthier and improve fitness levels. Students become more responsible, respect others, move safely and play fair. Students express themselves, value movement experiences, and enjoy being with others. Students are always encouraged to wear or bring tennis shoes to school on Physical Education days so they can all participate fully and safely in all activities in the gymnasium.
