Scope:
The goal of physical education during the primary years is to develop and refine a student’s ability to move and react in a controlled manner. The instruction progresses from introducing different locomotor skills (i.e., skipping), to learning how to manipulate an object (throwing a ball through a target). Throughout the K-2 curriculum, the emphasis is placed on the student’s ability to perform skills, demonstrating proper technique.
