Physical Education Physical activity is part of every day at Dalton. All kindergarten and first grade students enjoy a curriculum which includes ball skills, movement education, gymnastics, folk dance and team activities. Second graders are introduced to the skills associated with team sports which include soccer, hockey and volleyball. In third grade, Dalton students' physical education classes take place at the 87th Street facility. There team sports are the main focus of the curriculum and students are involved in basketball, badminton, whiffleball, and track and field.
Fitness is an integral part of the physical education routine.
At each level at the First Program, K-3 students participate in exercise routines aimed at increasing their flexibility, upper body strength and cardiovascular endurance. This program develops students' skills so that they can partake in and enjoy games and sports events designed to build sportsmanship, grace and athletic ability. After School Program Dalton offers an After School Program to all K-3 students. The After School Program is offered on a fee basis with a sliding scale for those families receiving tuition assistance. Pictures thanks to Sue Seitner, First Program Librarian and Yearbook Advisor.
