McCarthy-Towne Physical Education
Check out Peter's Physical Education website on Padlet for more Health and Physical Education resources! It is updated monthly on current trends as well as activities to do at home with friends and family!
Physical Education at McCarthy-Towne is aimed to have students develop and be exposed to sport-related skills, be introduced to a wide variety of activities, to think critically on cognitive concepts, and be able to learn life skills through group dynamics. Through gameplay and group activities, all students K-6 will learn and practice the skills of communication, collaboration, teamwork, problem-solving, decision-making, strategizing, and much more. These life skills will be helpful in their general classroom, outside of school and throughout their lifetime.
"Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong." -- John F. Kennedy
