Physical Education
Welcome to Physical Education at Warder Elementary School!
Research has proven that a physically fit student is a smart student. There is a strong correlation between physical activity and academic success. Physical activity can help students focus, improve behavior, and boost positive attitudes. The goal of physical education is to introduce students to a variety of activities so they can maintain their personal fitness levels outside of school. This class will teach students the importance of staying active and eating healthy along with having good sportsmanship, teamwork, attitude, respect, and leadership. More importantly, physical education will help students think positive about exercise so they can be physically active for a lifetime. The American Heart Association recommends a minimum of sixty minutes of physical activity a day. To help reach that goal, students will be participating in a variety of aerobic and anaerobic activities so they can improve their health-related and skill-related fitness.
