Course Description: 4K Physical Education meets two times a week for a total of 60 minutes. With the use of skill based games and team building 4K students will begin to demonstrate a base knowledge of fundamental motor skills while also starting to understand responsible personal and social behavior. 5k students meet a total of 90 minutes a week and there is more of a focus of skill development at this level. I want the students to experience as much success as possible while also providing adequate challenges. This course will also involve the use of the white board for vocabulary words that assist learning. Development of fundamental motor skills is critical.
