East Salem Elementary School, in conjunction with the City of Salem School Division, believes that physical education is an integral part of the total educational program. We are concerned with the total growth and development of students through group and individual activities. These activities supplement each student's development by promoting physical fitness, self-confidence, leadership and sportsmanship.
The emphasis for grades K-2 is development of basic locomotion and manipulation skills. These skill are taught in a variety of ways by the P.E. teacher and reinforced by the classroom teacher in low level games and playground activities.
Grades 3-5 utilize the basic skills in higher level activities such as problem solving games and modified sports. Students in grades 3-5 start to learn basic health and nutrition concepts through movement activities. The fourth and fifth graders are assessed throughout the five components of fitness.
Please contact your child's Physical Education teachers if you have further questions or concerns.
