A quality physical education program is the cornerstone for developing an active lifestyle. Our program consists of developmentally appropriate activities that create maximum opportunities for development of skills, knowledge, health-related fitness, and ultimately, the confidence to enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle.
Your child’s learning environment is safe and non-threatening and provides opportunities for success. At EES our physical education program offers the chance for your child to develop habits for lifetime fitness and health. Research indicates that students who receive quality physical education experiences during the day participate in more physical activities after school.
During the school year, we want to encourage you to participate in your child’s physical development and fitness. Children need a minimum of at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day and what better way than playing together. Go for a walk, take a bike ride or toss a ball. It is so very important for your children to see you being physically active as role models.
Thank you for partnering with our physical education program to develop your child’s lifetime health and fitness. By working together we can bring the joy and health of physical activity to your child and family. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to teaching your child this year.
In the EES wellness class, we will learn how to develop and maintain lifelong healthy habits! Each class will focus on a different wellness topic such as nutrition, our muscles/bones and how they work, staying physically active, etc… Part of each class will be in the classroom, and the remainder of the class will be either outside or in the hallway depending on the weather! We will be up and moving a great deal, so please remember to wear your sneakers!
