Physical Education 5

At the fifth grade level students understand the concept of fair play and begin to recognize the varying fitness levels within the appropriate age standards. Playing by the rules and respecting self and others are emphasized as students participate in cooperative physical education activities. Students see how levels of physical activity and food intake are related to a healthy productive life-style. The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports Tests will be part of his/her curriculum. Depending on the program chosen, the student will have the opportunity to record his results on a periodic basis, and receive the appropriate award depending on the performance level.
