My primary goal in gym class is to develop students' fundamental movement skills within a variety of developmentally appropriate activities. The program will also enhance students' personal fitness and provides them with the knowledge and skills necessary to engage in a variety of physical activities. Personal and social responsibility, self-directed learning, and problem solving skills are also reinforced throughout the K-4 physical education curriculum.
