What does a student learn in
This is the year P.E. shifts from playing games to building habits students can keep after graduation. Students sharpen the movement skills used in sports, fitness routines, and everyday life, and they learn the reasoning behind a good warm-up, a steady heart rate, and a balanced workout. They also practice working with teammates, handling competition, and taking responsibility for their own effort. By spring, students can design and stick to a simple fitness plan that fits their own goals.
