The goal of the physical education program of study at the fifth grade level is to continue a vigorous program to enhance physical development and foster participation in enjoyable physical activity outside the classroom. The objectives emphasize lifetime wellness, social skills, motor/skill development, movement/rhythmic development, and physical activity. Physical activity is important to the physical, emotional and social maturation of students at this age.
