Physical Education

Physical Education classes: Three major objectives stressed in the PE classes include Physical/Motor Development, Cognitive Development, and Social Development. Motor skills are developed through participation in various games, sports, and physical activities that require coordination, strength, endurance, balance, and kinesthetic awareness. By participating in a program of physical activities, an individual will increase their proficiency in routine tasks and activities of daily living. Cognitive skills are developed as students are taught rules and regulations of games and activities. Support and guidance is given to sequence and practice these skills in a non-competitive environment. The ability to think and interpret situations is developed through many experiences in games and sports. Students are encouraged to establish interest, appreciation and a positive attitude relating to physical education and activity. Students develop social skills by participating in group activities where cooperation, team play and communication are essential for success in the game.
