    I. Rationale: 

    Elementary P.E. is important to develop activity patterns and skills that will carry into adulthood. It promotes physical activity that is beneficial for overall health and well-being. Positive experiences in physical activity are important in childhood development that will carry into adulthood.

     

    II. P.E Objectives: 

    Physical Education will consist of information regarding exercise and the effects of exercise on the body. It will also cover the basic movement skills (skipping, hopping, jumping, throwing, kicking) along with complex movement skills and how to apply them during games and sports performance. Activities and lessons will reflect the New York State Standards with the integration of the Common Core Standards.


    III. Format and Procedures: 

    The students will enter the gymnasium and line up in their assigned lines. They will begin their warm-up routine upon the start of class. The warm-up routine will contain daily strength building exercises.
