Physical Education is learning through movement. Our program encourages active participation in a wide variety of activities. Each student will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to promote a lifelong commitment to physical activity.
Kindergarten students have Physical Education class one time in our six day cycle of specials. Students in grades 1-6 have Physical Education twice in the 6 day cycle. All classes follow a similar format. Each class begins with warm-up exercises. After warm up exercises, Grades K-2 perform various movement skills (jog, gallop, hop, jump, skip, leap...) while students in grades 3-6 will do an aerobic activity such as jogging, aerobic step, jump rope, or dance. At this point in class, we will learn and practice skills and finish with a game or activity. Listed below are some of the activities that students will participate in throughout the school year.
This year our district is using an online grading system called "Gradebook". You can log on to the Gradebook site to discover your child's progress in their Physical Education class. After each unit of activity, grades will be posted for participation and conduct. Please go to the link listed below to access this information.
Mr. Tony Bifulco is the full time P.E. teacher at Mansfield Township Elementary School. Mrs. Bonnie Dunn is the full time P.E. teacher at John Hydock Elementary School. We appreciate if all students come prepared for activity on their Physical Education days (i.e. sneakers and comfortable clothing). If you are unsure what day it is in our 6 day cycle, or what days your child has P.E., please check our links. Also, if you have any questions or concerns regarding the Physical Education Program and your child, feel free to contact either teacher. Thanks for your support and cooperation.
