PE NEWS FLASH

The primary purpose of the grades 1-6 physical education program is to enable younger students to develop competence in fundamental movement skills by providing a wide variety of developmentally appropriate movement experiences and practice opportunities. Learning experiences are designed to use skill themes and movement concepts to teach the content of each learning strand. Physical fitness, rhythms, educational gymnastics, and games/activities to practice fundamental movement skills are fully integrated into the curriculum. Age-appropriate fitness and wellness concepts are included in instructional units.
