Physical Education has moved to a more "skills-based" approach which focuses on the various fine and gross motor skills you find in common physical activity. Some of these skills include locomotor skills like running, hopping, jumping, or galloping as well as manipulative skills like throwing, kicking, striking, or jump roping. We also incorporate non-motor skills like cooperation, teamwork, and effort. On top of the physical skill set, Sato PE also focuses on the cognitive and behavioral aspect of PE. What good is a skill if you don't know how to use it within the context of a sport or activity and how to behave within that environment? We want our students to show good sportsmanship and be able to follow the rules no matter what activity they are participating in. Finally, we incorporate many fitness components and nutrition into our lessons so students can learn how to be healthy and what activities will improve their strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance.
