The 6th graders guide the students through appropriate challenges that were developed by Mrs. Dunn in conjunction with our Physical Therapist, Michelle Wiley and our Occupational Therapist, Karen VanSciver. Our program has been very successful and has been nominated for a Best Practices Award. Special thanks to Mrs. Trobman, Mr. Bruni, and Mr. Langowski for their continued support of the Adapted PE program. Physical education is learning through movement. Our program encourages active participation in a wide variety of activities so that each student will acquire knowledge and skills to promote a lifelong commitment to physical activity.
All classes follow a similar format.
Each class begins with warm-up exercises. Listed below are some of the activities that students will participate in throughout the school year. We will work on these activities during every class. In addition to the above activities, students will be working with individual jump ropes, scooters, and long jump ropes. After learning and practicing the basic skills, students were gradually introduced to positions and game play.
