Physical Education

September, 2019

Dear Parents, 
 
It is such a pleasure to welcome all the wonderful students back to school this year. Mr. Niccolich and I look forward to having your children in PE this year. Each class will have 2 PE classes per week in grades KG-5. Students will perform basic motor and manipulative skills. Students will attain competency in a variety of physical activities and proficiency in a few select complex motor and sports activities.

Grades K and 1 will spend most of the school year working on locomotor skills, moving to music, traveling in three different pathways and spatial awareness, cooperative games, using manipulatives to develop fine and gross motor skills.  Grade 2-3 will use various manipulatives to continue to develop their eye-foot and eye-hand coordination through tennis, volleyball, basketball, soccer and hockey related activities and skills. Students will also be introduced to a few FITNESSGRAM events. Students in grade 4 will start the year with a formal introduction of the NYC FITNESSGRAM Program, followed by training and performing each event. After FITNESSGRAM fourth and fifth grade students will further develop their foundation skills in underhand and overhead striking in a volleyball unit. Students will use the application of movement concepts to object manipulations.  All students in grades K-5 will have a NYS mandated HIV/AIDS unit.

The goal of our Physical Education program is to teach students to develop healthy living habits that will last a lifetime. We accomplish this by having students participate in a wide variety of activities, sports, and challenges that will increase their physical, social, and mental abilities, as well as teamwork/sportsmanship and cooperation skills using the NYC Scope and Sequence for Elementary Schools NYC. We provide a safe, fun, and motivating class that will encourage all students to participate, have fun and try their best.

Here are some things that will help make PE as fun and safe as possible this year:

1.    Everyone MUST wear sneakers for safety on their PE days!!!        
2.    If a student has a medical condition or injury, please send a note/medical excuse.

 

Let’s get moving!

A. Borges and N. Niccolich
