4th Grade

Prerequisites: None Course Description: The physical education program is based on the Society of Health and Physical Education (SHAPE America) Standards and Grade Level Outcomes. SHAPE America’s five standards focus on developing physically literate individuals that have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity. At the elementary level, the focus is on the foundational skills, knowledge and personal/social responsibility in a physical activity setting. By the end of fourth grade, students will have learned to apply offensive and defensive strategies as they relate to manipulative skills. Students continue to learn fitness concepts, participate in a variety of fitness development exercises, and learn to assess their personal fitness. Working together as part of a group, students learn to give and accept feedback and demonstrate sportsmanship. Note: Lesson activities depend on a number of factors that include but are not limited to time, space, and equipment.
