ELEMENTARY PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Many factors are considered in planning an elementary physical education program. It is our philosophy that the physical education program provides a well-rounded curriculum to meet the ability levels, needs, and interests of all the children that we possibly can. A part of each child's daily instruction at ACA will be 30 minutes of physical education class. During this time, the students will participate in a variety of activities designed to fulfill the following goals: · Increase and maintain health-related fitness levels · Improve motor skill development · Increase their knowledge of personal health-related fitness · Increase their ability to develop a healthy lifestyle · Increase their awareness of various activities to enjoy for improved health, fitness, and recreation. · Increase their social skills through various activities and games that promote teamwork and sportsmanship.
