Monarch K-8 P.E.
Grades 7, 8

Teacher

Classes Offered:

P.E. courses are a semester in length and are required in 7th and 8th grade.

Physical Education at Monarch K-8 is for every student. We still do traditional sports in class but we believe in life long fitness and involve the students in building skills for a lifetime of fitness. One of the activities we do here at Monarch K-8 is Run, Ride and Roll. Students may run a course set up around the school or bring a bike, scooter, rollerblades or skateboard to navigate around the course. Fun activities such as races are included in the unit. The climbing wall brings the opportunity to teach safe climbing techniques to our students. First the students must solve problems such as crossing the gym floor without touching the floor using 2 scooters, 2 rubber rings, and a long jump rope. These challenges promote teamwork since the students must work as a team to achieve the goal. Once the team has succeeded in the challenges and received instruction on climbing safety, they climb as a team. Our main focus in PE is to help students find an activity they can do to stay fit for life.
