The physical education curriculum in the
elementary school provides children of all
abilities and interests with a foundation of
movement experiences that will eventually lead to
an active and healthy lifestyle. Physical education
and athletic programs have different purposes, in
many respects. Developmentally appropriate physical
education programs are designed for every child,
from the physically gifted to the physically
challenged.
Students in grades Preschool-4 participate in
weekly lessons with a physical education specialist
for a minimum of 25 minutes. In addition,
reinforcement of physical education activities
occur within the general classroom setting. The
elementary physical education curriculum emphasizes
the development of basic movement awareness,
fundamental motor skills, manipulative skills, and
fitness, as applied to educational games and
sports, cooperative learning experiences,
rhythmics, dance, and gymnastic contexts.
