Physical Education News

Welcome back to another exciting school year. We are off to a great start. Kindergarten students are learning how to move safely in the gym. We will also be practicing body and space awareness activities and kindergarten students will learn about locomotor movements (walking, jogging, skipping, etc) and manipulative skills (bean bags, hula hoops, jump ropes, etc) throughout the school year. Students in grades 1 and 2 have been reviewing locomotor movements and practicing manipulative skills as well as performing some parachute games. Students in grades 3-6 have started the year of with some cooperative games and will be reviewing playground games soon. We will also focus on the difference between individual and team sports and discussing the similarities and differences of each. Your student is reminded to wear sneakers and active clothing on the day they have PE. We are looking forward to a healthy and active school year!
