Physical Education

Rhythmic activities, games, relays, stunts and tumbling, skill development, and athletic games are part of the physical education curriculum for all students in Kindergarten through grade 4.

Adaptive activities, as well as modifications of regular physical education class activities, are provided on an individual basis for students who need such accommodations.

Kindergarten classes include rhythm and movement activities as an important part of the core curriculum. Kindergarten students participate in one 30-minute class period per week during which time the kindergarten teacher and the physical education teacher team together. Kindergarten children engage in gross motor activities beyond those that are practiced in the kindergarten classroom.

Students in grades 1-4 have two 30-minute periods of physical education each week. The physical education program in grades one through three uses six units to progressively develop students’ skills. The units include: rhythmical activities, primary developmental games, relays, primary sports and recreational activities, and athletic games.
