To establish an overall wellness lifestyle that includes mental, emotional, physical and social well-being in our students. |
Wellness and fitness classes are planned with
a definite goal to improve motor skills and fitness. Classes are designed
to be developmentally appropriate, to have maximum participation and no
elimination. Students are encouraged to do their best in each activity
regardless of whether they are working alone, in pairs, in groups or in
teams. Emphasis is on cooperation and teamwork.
As a physical education teacher, I try to
have a positive influence on the students with the hope that they will
continue to be active outside of school and through out their lives.
Mr. Ludwig
Physical Education Teacher
(Wellness and Fitness)
A Physical Education Review is held every March for fifth grade students and their parents. The students demonstrate for their parents skills that are learned in class. Parents are also invited to participate in some activities. This is a fun evening for everyone and it gives the parents a chance to see what is included in the curriculum.
Field days are held in the month of May. Grades one and two have
specific activity stations that are set up for them. Fifth grade
students explain, demonstrate, and run the stations. The classes
move from station to station until they are completely finished.
Parent volunteers come in and direct all the stations for grades three,
four and five. There are always more stations set up then there
are classes, so when a class is done with one station, they can move to
any other station that is open. Field Days are great because everyone
participates, has fun and learns to enjoy sports without emphasis on winning.
