At Eagle Ridge Academy, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students have physical education 3 times a cycle for 25 minutes. Each time the students are in class they will do a warm-up, practice locomotor movements, and work on skills through a variety of games and activities.
Students are required to wear athletic shoes for physical education class. An athletic shoe should fit tightly and allow a student to start and stop, run, and jump without falling off or having the student slip.
Mrs. Swenson will be on maternity leave from November 21st-January 3rd. Please contact long term sub Neal Boegel during this time. [email protected]
A strong emphasis will be placed on reinforcing the pillars of Eagle Ridge Academy during physical education class. The grade your child earns in physical education will be based on the five components below. These components reflect the six pillars of Citizenship, Integrity, Perseverance, Honor, Excellence, Respect.
