6th Grade Physical Education (3 days out of a 6 day cycle, 45 minutes per class)

Our main goal is to teach students about the importance of regular physical activity. Furthermore, it is equally important that each student understand the need for regular physical activity throughout their lifetime. We hope that students gain enjoyment, positive social interactions, success, and personal satisfaction from the things we do in class and apply them in non-school settings.

Grading: 4 points per Physical Education class​ (2 points for participation and 2 points for character)

What students need for class: A positive attitude, willingness to always put forth their best effort, an ability to get along with others, and the qualities of “Character Counts” (Trustworthy, Caring, Fairness, Citizenship, Respect, and Responsibility).
