Physical Education

Welcome to Physical Education! 

This year, the class will focus on:

• Refined manipulative skills: throwing for accuracy, catching with control, dribbling.

• Understanding rules and teamwork in simple games.

• Introduction to sports concepts like offense, defense, and strategy.

• Emphasizing individual responsibility and sportsmanship.

Our program will align with the National Physical Education Standards for grades 3-6, focusing on developing motor skills (Standard 1), understanding movement concepts (Standard 2), achieving and maintaining physical fitness (Standard 3), demonstrating responsible behavior (Standard 4), and valuing physical activity (Standard 5). 

The 3rd grade class has PE on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Please remind your students to wear appropriate attire on these days.
