Philosophy: Students will be given the necessary knowledge of physical fitness principles, skill development, and wellness components to make healthy lifelong decisions. Description :
RIGHT NOW IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION... December/January: The second trimester has started and we have started our inside activities. The elementary students are learning various ball skills such as tossing, catching, rolling, bouncing, etc. They are also shooting in preparation for the Power and Performance unit, which they will get into in 5 th grade. 5 th through 8 th graders just completed the Team Handball activities, which is always a favorite. The next unit will be Power and Performance. Students will be learning the important skills necessary to play certain games as well as rules and general background on the games of Basketball and Volleyball. We have been working on cardiovascular endurance all fall. Students in grades 5-8 completed a 12 minute Cooper Run in early November and will be receiving the results of that run to see all of their hard work pay off. Happy Holidays! FITNESS EXERCISES
