Children in grades K-3 experience Physical Education two days per week for 30 minutes each class period. The classes typically consist of a warm-up, main activity and a cool down. Besides exercise, fun and safety, the students also learn and experience locomotor movements, cooperative, social and health skills and some team sports participation. Also, the students are assessed in the fall and spring on many of the presidential fitness test skills. In February, the children take part in a Health Fair exhibit, and in May, we conclude the year with "Field Day." Hula hoops, rope jumping, volleyball, parachute, and tag games are just some of the activities the children have fun with throughout the school year.
The Physical Education experience for children in grades 4-6 occurs twice a week for 45 minute class periods. The students will typically begin class with a warm-up activity and/or stretch, followed usually by a fitness focus activity or skills period and concluding often with a team sport and then a cool down. The students continue to experience locomotor movements, cooperative activities, social and health skills and many different team sports units including, soccer, football, volleyball, gymnastics, basketball, floor hockey, team handball, lacrosse, softball/baseball, ultimate frisbee and many more. Finally, the students will experience fitness tests in both the fall and spring, while enhancing their aerobic and anaerobic activity between testing times.
