February 22 - 26

Hello Kindergarten Families

We hope you find these lessons helpful and fun. Kindergartners need to be moving for at least 60 minutes a day. That may sound like a lot but kids don't have to move for 60 minutes in a row. You can spread activity throughout the day.

You can find all the Kindergarten PE lessons here. Mix and match and redo favorites.
