Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to 6th Grade Physical Education. Our objective is for you and your family to develop an appreciation towards lifetime physical activity. Our goals are that students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate competency/proficiency in a variety of movement forms. 2. Apply movement concepts to the development of motor skills 3. Achieve/maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness 4. Demonstrate responsible personal and social behavior 5. Understand and respect individual differences 6. Understand that physical activity provides the opportunity for enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and social interaction. The course is designed to engage students in a variety of individual and team movement activities that range from the traditional basketball/volleyball/softball. We will also participate in a variety of lifetime activities such as golf, frisbee golf, and walking which can be enjoyed with family members in the community regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, and/or skill level.
