Physical education

Class overview

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!  Our goal in physical education is for everyone to learn to make healthy choices and feel successful when participating in a variety of activities.  This enables students to develop a positive attitude toward physical activity and to develop healthy habits, which will hopefully continue throughout their lives.

Students will be encouraged to have fun and enjoy PE.  They will also be encouraged to participate to the best of their ability in a wide variety of activities.  At this level, certain skills are taught so that students will be able to pursue competitive sports as well as lifetime sports. 

Basic introductory skills for the following activities will be taught: 1) circle, line, and relay games; 2) fitness activities including the state mandated FITNESSGRAM fitness test in 3rd grade; 3) jump rope; 4) organized games and activities such as volleyball, kickball, baseball/softball, soccer, and basketball; 5) cooperative games; and 6) recreational activities such as bowling, foursquare.

Tennis shoes are HIGHLY recommended.  

Appropriate shoes must have a rubber sole and cover the entire foot.
