Physical Education
Tricia Pate & Jason Cate
Our goal for physical education is to have
FUN! So much so, that exercise and physical fitness become a way of life. It
is important that we understand the relationship between physical activity and
being healthy throughout our lives. We all WIN when we are HAPPY
and healthy!
The K-2 curriculum focuses on fundamental
movement skills, lead up games, good sportsmanship and cooperation. The
students will participate in a variety of creative and challenging activities
that develop strength, endurance, and flexibility.
In grades 3-4, students continue to develop
strength, endurance, and flexibility as they participate in more dynamic game
situations. Sport-specific skills appropriate for their age will also be
introduced which will include game strategies, rules, and etiquette. This
includes responding to winning and losing with dignity and understanding.
Overall, our focus is on providing a
noncompetitive atmosphere where every student has the chance for success and
our emphasis is on doing your personal best!
EveryBODY needs P.E.
