Indian Hill Primary physical education provides the children in grades kindergarten through grade two with experiences which allow them to mature and progress physically, socially, and emotionally at an age appropriate and individual rate.
All activities are developed using the State of Ohio Physical Education Standards. Learning standards define what learners should know and be able to do to become physically literate citizens with the knowledge, skills, and confidence for lifelong healthful physical activity. The standards provide a progression of learning expectations. The four core standards are:
- Standard 1: Develops a variety of motor skills and movement patterns.
- Standard 2: Applies knowledge related to movement and fitness concepts.
- Standard 3: Develops social skills through movement, incorporating collaboration, etiquette, and inclusion.
- Standard 4: Develops personal skills, identifies personal benefits of movement, and chooses to engage in physical activity.
REMINDER: Please send children to school in appropriate footwear. “Crocs” and sandals are not a SAFE choice for our students while running, climbing, and jumping on the playground or in PE class.
I am looking forward to having your child in Physical Education class! Be sure to check out some of the fun activities featured below!
