Physical Education

Preschool - Eighth Grade

KCDS Physical Education is a Moving Experience! 

Preschool is starting to practice racquet skills.  We continue to practice our locomotor movements, ball skills, tumbling climbing, balance and many other skills introduced before break.

Kindergarten through 5th grade are also practicing their racquet skills.  We will learn about forehand and back hand ground strokes and use some of the USTA's under ten tennis lessons, to build our skill level.  We are looking for racquet donations.

Middle school Will be starting their floor hockey unit and then we will be moving on to handball and then a bowling unit.

If you have any questions, concern, comments please feel free to contact me at any time.

 Preschool

Preschool students are exposed to a variety of skills and movements.  Young students learn how to follow directions using music cues.  We practice locomotor movements such as galloping, skipping, running, and hopping. We introduce throwing, tossing, catching, kicking, striking objects with implements, tumbling and overall coordination activities. Preschoolers are also introduced to the importance of healthy food choices and exercise.  We incorporate knowledge of colors, numbers, letters and body parts into our activities to aid with concepts being taught in the classroom.

 Kindergarten-Second Grade

 Kindergarten-second grade review concepts taught in earlier years and then are challenged to use those concepts in higher level activities.  Students start to engage in games where there are more rules and strategies.  We continue to work on locomotor development, body part identification, healthy food choices, good sportsmanship and team play, as well as increase confidence in personal abilities.

 Third-fifth Grade

 Third through fifth graders start to interact as a team more.  Upper elementary students have the opportunity to use their skills to play more games that involve strategy, thinking about positioning on the field or court and how to move to an open spot.  We start to learn more about nutrition and why it is important to make healthy food choices and how exercise is important for lifelong health.  We continue to practice locomotors, tumbling, climbing, teambuilding, and individual skill practice.  Sportsmandhip and respect for yourself and others is a main focus during game activities.

 Middle School

 Middle School students participate in units during physical education.  We cover sports such as Ultimate frisbee, flag football, circuit training, soccer, team handball, basketball, pickle ball and many others.  Each unit usually starts with skill development on an individual basis and then we move into small game settings and then one big culminating game.  We also discuss healthy eating and exercise, as well preventing disease.  We also like to discuss current events in sport.

 The following is the grading structure and expectations for middle school students:

 All students have earned five points just by walking into class.  The following are ways they can lose points.
