Welcome to another year of physical education activities for your children. For safety sake, please have your children wear gym shoes on Phy-Ed days. The shoes should be tie or velcro type shoes, not slip on style. Girls should wear pants or shorts under their skirts, because we sit on the floor for warm-up stretches.
The goals of the Physical Education Program are as follows:
1. Demonstrate an acceptable level of physical fitness.
2. Demonstrate an appreciation of regular physical activity and the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.
3. Demonstrate the skills necessary to perform a variety of physical activities.
4. Demonstrate the knowledge and understanding of scientific principles, rules and strategies related to physical activities.
5. Demonstrate a positive self-concept, appropriate social and emotional behaviors and an appreciation for individual differences through physical activity.
