The Pre-Kindergarten Physical Education curriculum consists of a basic introduction to all of the components of the Kindergarten curriculum, as well as gaining familiarity with the structure, rules, and routines of P.E., and school in general. A focus on monitoring and developing basic gross motor movements, as well as mobility, is a point of emphasis at the Pre-K level. Introducing and exposing the students to various types of physical activities, and related opportunities, is also an important portion of the Pre-K experience.
The Kindergarten Physical Education curriculum is aligned with the SHAPE America National Standards and Grade-Level Outcomes. Students will be introduced to and begin to develop body and spatial awareness, locomotor skills, non-locomotor skills, and manipulatives. Students will also begin to acquire knowledge of movement concepts, knowledge of physical activity and fitness, and learn to recognize the value of physical activity. Exhibiting responsible personal and social behavior in a physically active environment is also an important component of the curriculum.
