The MSAB Elementary Physical Education program provides students with engaging, developmentally appropriate opportunities to build physical fitness, confidence, and lifelong healthy habits in a safe and supportive environment.
Small class sizes allow teachers to provide individualized instruction tailored to each student's strengths, abilities, and educational needs. Through movement-based learning, students develop fundamental motor skills, coordination, balance, and body awareness while building confidence and independence.
Elementary physical education includes activities that promote:
- Fundamental movement and motor skills
- Physical fitness and wellness
- Balance, coordination, and spatial awareness
- Teamwork and cooperation
- Recreation and leisure skills
- Healthy lifestyle habits
Physical education is provided in accordance with each student's Individualized Education Program (IEP), when appropriate.
Accessible Learning
MSAB incorporates a variety of adaptations to ensure every student can actively participate in physical education. Adaptations may include:
- Sound-emitting equipment
- High-contrast materials
- Modified equipment
- Individualized instruction
- One-to-one support, when appropriate
Students participate in activities throughout the gymnasium, outdoor learning spaces, athletic fields, and other accessible environments that encourage movement, exploration, and skill development.
Learning Through Movement
Physical education at MSAB extends beyond exercise. Students strengthen communication, social interaction, self-confidence, and problem-solving skills while learning the value of teamwork, recreation, and lifelong wellness.
Our goal is to help every student discover the joy of movement while building the skills, confidence, and independence needed for an active and healthy future.
