First
Grade P.E.
Fitness is an important component of
our P.E. program for grades 1-5. Students experience
setting performance goals while participating in
activities that improve their strength, flexibility,
and endurance.
Proficiency in swimming and water safety
is an expected outcome in Lower School P.E., grades
1-5.
During the other months, children practice locomotor
and manipulative skills. Sports skills such as throwing,
catching, kicking, striking, dodging, and tagging,
introduced in kindergarten, are refined in the upper
elementary grades. Qualities of sportsmanship, respect,
perseverance, and cooperation are woven into each physical
education class.
