General Information
The purpose of physical education is for all students to learn and develop fundamental movement skills, become physically fit, participate regularly in physical activity, know the benefits from involvement in physical acyivities and appreciate the value of physical activity and it's contributions to a healthy livestyle.
Students develop socially by learning to play fairly and exhibit sportsmanship. They learn to understand and appreciate the abilities of others, and learn to handle winning and losing in a positive manner.
The intent is to provide students of all abilities and interests with a foundation of movement experiences that will eventually lead to active and healthy lifestyles.
Grades
Students will be evaluated according to skills demonstrated during participation and on skill testing. Attitude, behavior and participation are and improtant part of the physical education evaluation. This includes having a positive attitude, listening and following directions, showing good sportsmanship, trying hard and doing their best. Skill is a large part, but more important than that is behavior, attitude and trying hard.
Progress reports are given the 2nd and 4th quarters.
