WELCOME... to Glendale Elementary Physical Education!
Mission Statement:
Here at Glendale, our Physical Education Program focuses on providing our students with a fun, motivational, and quality elementary physical education experience. We provide our students grades K-5 with activities that will enhance optimum growth for each student at an appropriate level for his/her development as well as expose our students to a variety of activities so that they are able to learn and enjoy physical activity throughout their lifetime.
In grades K-2, we believe in educating our students through movement, primarily focusing on the basic locomotor movements, pathways, and patterns which allow them to discover how their bodies and minds work together to understand the concepts of movement through space, balance, and control. Along with this, our students will learn the fundamental skills necessary to continue on in the later grades with sport and fitness related concepts.
In grades 3-5, our focus is to expose our students to many different sports and activities, as well as incorporate Health-Related Fitness Concepts so that children will understand the importance of physical activity. Along with this, we strive to educate children of the opportunities to enjoy physical activity outside of the physical education setting. Our goal for our students by the end of Grade 5 is for them to understand the importance of physical activity and the impact it has on the body.
