Physical Education Grade K A/B

Physical Education Grade K, Semester A, introduces movements and motor skills important to maintaining a healthy body.  The course explores movements done in place, such as curling, stretching, and bending, as well as movements that help students travel, such as running, skipping, hopping, leaping, jumping, and galloping. Topics include foundational motor skills like throwing, catching, dribbling, and kicking a ball. The course also teaches about nutrition, and good sports behaviors 
(safety, following rules, taking turns, and dealing with disagreements).

Physical Education, Grade K, Semester B, reinforces locomotor movement concepts, including patterns, pathways, speeds, and start/stop signals.  The course explores non-locomotor movements while stretching, rotating, extending, and flexing the body into wide, curled, and narrow body shapes, and explores how muscles help the body move when pushing, pulling, jumping, gripping, and climbing. Topics include foundational motor skills such as jumping rope, volleying, striking with a paddle or racket, striking with a bat, and striking with a golf club, as well as goal-setting, taking responsibility, sharing with others, and solving problems.

The materials needed for this course include standard fitness equipment.
