The Sunset Ridge Physical Education Program is designed to provide a warm, student centered environment that fosters a love of learning. We strive to teach the “whole child” through affective, cognitive and physical development. All students are offered a daily Physical Education for forty minutes. Each unit focuses on the introduction of the game/activity, historical background behind the game, skills that are needed to play the game, and rules and strategies of the game/activity.
In addition to meeting the National and State Standards, the goals of Sunset Ridge Physical Education are:
- Learn the skills necessary to participate in a variety of physical activities
- Understand the implications and the benefits of physical activities
- Participate in regular physical activity
- Be physically fit
- Value physical activity and the role it plays in a healthful lifestyle
- Demonstrate good sportsmanship
