P.S. 101Q
Physical Education Program

Physical education is an important component of a well-rounded school curriculum. It includes psychomotor, cognitive and affective development. The program at P.S.101Q addresses acquisition of knowledge (vocabulary and skills) related to health, fitness and sports. Underlying all of this is the development of a positive attitude through movement-based activities.

Our fitness program helps children assess their own fitness level. They learn to strengthen areas of weakness and develop new skills and abilities. Care is taken to address the wide range of abilities of all students, and increase their capabilities and self-confidence in both movement and sports.

Individual units are carefully planned to provide students with a variety of sports knowledge and experience. Both team and individual sports are included. Activities are challenging and motivating and foster the development of sportsmanship and good interpersonal relationships. All lessons meet the N.Y. State Standards in Physical Education.

The ultimate goal of our Physical Education program is to help students achieve a healthy lifestyle conducive to a full and productive life both in and out of school.

Yours in Fitness & Good Health,
Ms. Giaimo
