Fifth Grade Physical Education

Physical education plays a major role in the overall education of children. The skills learned in physical education prepare students physically, but also develop readiness skills for success in the classroom. The goal of K-8 physical education is to contribute to the total growth and development of students, primarily through selected movement experiences and physical activity. In fifth grade, students improve individual and group skills through participation in games, rhythm, and physical activities.

Students will:

• move safely and responsibly
• adapt movement skills to physical activities.
• participate in games and activities that enhance a physically active lifestyle.
• show acceptance and courtesy toward others.
• apply problem solving and reasoning during activities.
