Physical Education
About the Program
The Flower Hill Physical Education Program seeks to introduce students to various levels of movement concepts and skill themes. The movement concepts include space awareness, effort and relationships. The skill themes include traveling, jumping and landing, balancing, transferring weight and rolling, kicking and punting, throwing and catching, volleying and dribbling, striking with rackets and paddles, and striking with long-handled implements.
Our Goal
Our goal is to help students develop a healthy appreciation of fitness and enjoyment of activities which will promote an active lifestyle through adulthood. The program strives to make students feel good about themselves and what they are doing. It is the belief of the physical education program that learning involves the whole person and the affective, cognitive and psychomotor domains are constantly present. In addition, this approach to physical education supports the academic areas of learning by making cross-curricular connections within each lesson.
February News
Students in all grades are finishing up a basketball unit. Students in grades 3-5 have spent the last week in tournaments using proper shooting and passing techniques. Students in grades K-2 have been focusing on keeping control of the basketball by dribbling with their eyes forward, using finger pads, and keeping the ball waist level and below. Everyone has been cooperative and displayed good teamwork while trying to achieve these skills. What is our next unit????? Hmmmmm….you will have to wait and see!!!!
