Welcome to Bacich PE 

Mrs. Braff, Mrs. Perez and Mr. Schafer are here to help each student athlete develop their physical abilities in accordance with the California Physical Education Standards.

August: get to know each other, cooperation skills,  the rules for the ever-popular recess games Gaga, 4-Square, 2-Touch, and 4- Corners

September and October: learn about our bodies and taking care of them. TK - 1st grade build up stamina to run the mile; 2nd-4th grades run the mile. Inside the community center, all grades do the tumbling unit.  Outside students learn basic football skills, practice hand-eye coordination with a partner and scoops, and raise their heart rate with aerobic activities.  All students practice their underhand toss.

Rainy winters do not slow us down: check out rainy day classroom tennis!
