Physical Education K-5
Welcome Everyone to another wonderful year of Physical Fitness!!

Students in grades 1 - 5 will again be working towards fitness goals that we set in the Fall. They will also be learning basic sports skills. Pre-K and Kindergarten will be learning how to stretch, exercise properly and will be working on fine-tuning their gross motor skills.
In the winter months, we do a lot of jump roping. Jump roping can...
- Be a fun, aerobic activity to increase and maintain cardiovascular fitness
- Improve muscular endurance
- Improve fine and motor coordination
- Provide rhythmic training
- Improve speed and balance
- Enhance self-esteem and create a positive body image
- Provide a basic foundation for sports skills
- Offer opportunities for creativity
Our jump-a-thon event is usually held in March. We will be working on our jump rope skills and making up routines for this event after Christmas vacation. I hope that the children will get some new ideas from watching the Spindrifters perform.
