Physical Education

    The Windham Physical Education staff (teaching grades T-8) believes in a building - block approach to educating children in the area of movement, games, lifetime fitness activities, sportsmanship, and fun. The students develop socialization skills while learning how their bodies move and play. Students are encouraged to use a variety of thinking skills, learning styles, and experimental ways to learn about exercise and games. The goal is to have students leave the District completely physically educated, by definition, as stated by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE): "A physically educated person has learned skills necessary to perform a variety of physical activities, participates regularly in physical activity, is physically fit, knows the implications of and the benefits from involvement in physical activity, and values physical activity and its contributions to healthful lifestyle."
