As we move through a Physical Education lesson:

We are learning and practicing physical skills and movements. A huge part of that is self control: learning and practicing to control ourselves.

• The way we move (physical),
• The way we think (mental),
• The way we interact with others (social)

In other words, we are practicing controlling our muscles physically so that our bodies move the way we want them to; controlling our minds to focus on the task, learn rules, and develop strategies; and controlling our words and actions (even at the height of excitement).

We most often do:

• Proper warm up activities including heart exercises, muscle strength and endurance, coordination, balance, and stretching
• Skill focus
• Lead-up game or activity
• Cool down or  closing activity

Please look for:

• High student participation
• Success for all students
• Positive peer interactions
