K - 5 Philosophy

Physical education is an integral part of the general education program that significantly contributes to the total growth and development of each student, primarily through movement experiences. It is unique because it provides a balance of activities that reflect and challenge the divergent needs of students in the psychomotor, cognitive and affective domains.

The pursuit of optimal fitness and the development of a healthy body are the essence of a good physical education program. Physical educators teach the fundamental concepts, components and the primary principles of physical fitness to develop positive attitudes and motivational techniques that will be continued throughout one’s life. Students are provided the opportunity to experience personal success, develop self-esteem, promote respect for others and acquire interpersonal skills.

As physical educator we are committed to guiding our students to making healthy lifestyle decisions. Our K-5 Physical Education curriculum is designed in accordance with the standards of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education.

As an end of year celebration in Spanish class, Kings Highway School 5th graders had the opportunity to try authentic dishes from Spain. They learned about the dishes in class including the ingredients and the recipes to make them. Then, they had the opportunity to make a dish at home and bring it in to share with their classmates. They discovered new foods they had never tried and, of course, everyone loved the churros! Felicitaciones to all of the 5th graders on their moving up to middle school! ¡Adios!
