Selwyn Elementary
Welcome to the Eagle's GymEagles Phys. ED.
Selwyn Elementary offers a well-rounded PE program for all children in grades K-5. The activities include physical fitness development, basic movement skills, dance, team sports skills, gymnastic, jumping rope and a variety of games. Research has shown that students who participate in at least 150 minutes of physical activity time each week perform better than their peers in core subject areas in the classroom. The PE department provides activities that are inclusive, highly active, integrate academic and wellness concepts, and are fun for all students. Additionally, instructional units are designed to develop student’s motor, cognitive, and social skills.
SAFETY FIRST
Please dress your child appropriately for PE (tennis shoes, shorts, skorts or long pants) to ensure their safety and comfort. Crocs, flip-flops, heelies, open toe shoes or shoes with high heels are not safe for PE activities. We encourage students to bring water bottles to class with them each time they come to P.E. We appreciate your cooperation and support in helping your child stay safe during their PE class.
