Why Take Physical Education?Physical education is an integral part of the education program for all students. It teaches students how their bodies move and how to perform a variety of physical activities. Students learn the health-related benefits of regular physical activity and the skills to adopt a physically active, healthy lifestyle. The discipline also provides learning experiences that meet the developmental needs of students. With high quality physical education instruction, students become confident, independent, self-controlled, and resilient; develop positive social skills; set and strive for personal, achievable goals; learn to assume leadership; cooperate with others; accept responsibility for their own behavior; and, ultimately, improve their academic performance. - From the Physical Education Model Content Standards for California Public Schools: Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve by the California Department of Education (2006) AttirePE clothes are available for purchase in the student store. See syllabus for more information about proper attire for PE classes.
SHOES
All students MUST have closed-toed shoes, with the exception of days we are doing yoga or Pilates. |
