Welcome to the 2016-17 School Year

The 2016-17 school year has begun! Everything Archway P.E. and Archway athletics will be right here for you to follow throughout the school year. Your students will be learning stretches, muscles, coordination, athletic skills, and sports as well as how to display virtuous behavior through sportsmanship. Our goal is to help them develop and discover their "physical literacy."

Our K-3 students have begun the year by discussing rules and expectations as well as proper procedures when they come to P.E. One major emphasis is sportsmanship. It is the expectation that we treat everyone and everything with respect. We have also begun teaching them the importance of warming up and stretching before activities. They are already identifying the major muscles that they are using during these activities. We have wrapped up each P.E. class with games and physical activity. Our first games include relay races and tag, which will commonly be played throughout the year to help practice coordination, awareness and athletic skills.

Our first days of 4th-5th grade P.E. were great! We went over the expectations and played "3 Men in a Boat."  Our first unit will concentrate on fitness activities and low organized games to include bean bag tag, boomerang, octopus, bridge freeze tag and dodge ball activities. Low organized games incorporate game skills, teamwork and sportsmanship. Of course, we never forget our Character skills. 4th-5th will be graded on A.C.E. ( attitude, character and effort). Our goal for every child can be stated this way: "MY Personal Best."
