About the Program

The Flower Hill Physical Education Program seeks to introduce students to various levels of movement concepts and skill themes. The movement concepts include space awareness, effort and relationships. The skill themes include traveling, jumping and landing, balancing, transferring weight and rolling, kicking and punting, throwing and catching, volleying and dribbling, striking with rackets and paddles, and striking with long-handled implements.

Our Goal

Our goal is to help students develop a healthy appreciation of fitness and enjoyment of activities which will promote an active lifestyle through adulthood. The program strives to make students feel good about themselves and what they are doing. It is the belief of the physical education program that learning involves the whole person and the affective, cognitive and psychomotor domains are constantly present. In addition, this approach to physical education supports the academic areas of learning by making cross-curricular connections within each lesson.
