Welcome to Physical Education at CES
Our goal is to help children find a variety of ways to enjoy being physically active so that they will be able to get all of the physical, emotional, intellectual and social benefits that come to someone who is physically active throughout his or her life.

GYM SHOES ARE REQUIRED AND NEED TO BE AT SCHOOL EACH AND EVERY DAY!
At Challenger Elementary School, your child receives 47 minutes of physical education every third day. The program has been designed to focus on three major areas that contribute to one’s physical health and well being:
- Movement concepts: In the early grades, for example, the program emphasizes the variety of ways we travel (for example: running, skipping, hopping), changes of directions and speeds, and different ways to balance, jump and land.
- Fundamental motor skills: Basic skills such as throwing, kicking, volleying, and striking are taught in the primary grades. In the upper grades the children are taught how to use these fundamental skills in game and sports, and various forms of rhythmical movement.
- Wellness concepts: These include ways to improve cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility. As teachers, we recognize that children are at different developmental levels, with a variety of needs and interests. For this reason, we will attempt to provide all of the children with learning experiences that are both beneficial and enjoyable. Each lesson is adjusted to take into account the wide range of skill and fitness levels in the class.
