Learning Goals:
Our goal for your child is to encourage a love for physical exercise and health by pouring my own love and passion into them! I seek to do this by providing engaging and uplifting workouts that your child will look forward to every week! You can expect to see improvement in the areas of strength, balance, flexibility, agility and most importantly confidence! Children will learn fundamental principles, such as control, breath, and concentration, in a supportive and inclusive environment. The program helps meet the CDC and American Heart Association's daily physical activity recommendations, promoting healthy weight, stronger bones and muscles, better heart and brain health, improved academic performance, and reduced long-term health risks.
Grading Policy:
All of our physical education courses are graded based on participation, students earn a certificate for their engagement and effort. Certificates are awarded based on the student's willingness to participate, try new activities, and contribute positively to the class environment. This approach encourages all children, regardless of their athletic abilities, to take part in physical activities and emphasizes the importance of staying active for overall health and well-being. The certificate serves as recognition of their commitment to physical fitness and as a reminder of the value of staying active beyond the classroom.
