1ST QUARTER GRADES K-1

The main focus for grades K-1 will be movement. We will work on locomotor skills such as speed walking, skipping, galloping, hopping, jumping, marching, and jogging. We will also do non-locomotor skills such as bending, stretching, swaying, twisting, and shaking. Students will participate in various games and activities involving these skills. An awareness of general space and personal space will also be included in the activities. Students will also participate in activities involving animal walks, various speeds of movement, and creative movement.

GRADES 2-5

Grades 2-5 will begin with a review of movement and space awareness. We will also work on skills such as passing, throwing, catching, and kicking using a variety of equipment.
