At Kingswood Physical Education ROCKS!!! Kinder Students are having a blast in P.E. with Mrs. Morais. Students are grasping the concept of laterality, body awareness, personal and general space; while at the same time they get to play with colorful balloons. While music is playing in the background the students are moving around…the teacher gives the commands: hit your balloon with your right hand, now use your left foot, how about hitting the balloon with your head and etc…The Gym is a happy place for learning at the same time our students can develop their locomotor and nonlocomotor skills.
Our 3rd through 8th graders are now taking the “Fitness gram” test, this test measures the students cardio-vascular, muscle strength and flexibility capacities, giving them parameters to improve their results as the school year progress. They learn about Health fitness zone and a variety of ways to improve their health through nutrition and exercise. It is amazing to see that most of our students are really interested in learning all about this topic.
Mrs. Morais says, “I’m very proud to be a part of this program and making a difference and impact these kids’ lives forever.”
