PHYSICAL EDUCATION- Mrs. Spring & Mr. O'Brien
Our physical education curriculum includes a balance of skills, concepts, game activities, rhythms, gymnastics and dance experiences. Children are encouraged to question, integrate, analyze, communicate and apply cognitive concepts helping them gain a wide multicultural view of the world through physical education learning experience. We hope, through these experiences, students experience success and a sense of acceptance and well being. Students in grades kindergarten through five have Physical Education for 90 minutes per week. Kindergarten through 2nd grade meet three times per week for 30 minutes. Students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade meet for a one hour class and one 30 minute class.
