Students in Pre-K through grade two are encouraged to use their bodies to develop skills in basic locomotion activities. They learn to build confidence in their physical skills by involvement in games and activities. Some of the units are gymnastics, relays, throwing and catching, and jumping. Students in higher grades are challenged as they begin to become involved in team and organized sporting games. They begin to experience competition and learn the importance of sportsmanship. Some units are soccer, basketball, volleyball, wiffleball, various group games and relays. All students learn the importance of warm-up and stretching exercises and how physical fitness affects their daily lives.
