Physical Education Goals

1) to foster within each child the love of physical activity and play.

2) to instill in every student a need for physical fitness.

3) to develop within each child fundamental skills in a variety of sports, games and recreation which can be used in lifelong activities.

4) to enhance healthy character traits within every student through individual and team play.

5) to promote community building techniques from the beginning until the end of each P.E. class.

This year in the Physical Education classes at Grimes, there will be more of an emphasis not only on being active, but also on eating healthy.  It is my hope that our students will desire to stay physically fit (even outside of the P.E. class) and make healthy food choices.  Being fit and eating healthy are two important aspects of leading a longer, productive and happy life!      

 Please remember, tennis shoes are required for the days your child has physical education.

 

Units to be covered in this year’s P.E. classes will be:

  • Locomotor & Non-locomotor Skills
  • Rhythmic Activities (including Folk Dances)
  • Manipulative & Fundamental Skills
  • Fitness Testing (2 times per year)
  • Jump Rope Skills

 Sport Units:

Football, Soccer, Basketball, Gymnastics, Volleyball, Softball, Track & Field, Bowling

 

 

Major Events:

Every year the Tulsa Public School District sponsors 4 major events of which Grimes students participate.  These include Jump Rope Festival in November, Gymnaestrada in March, Fitness Stars in April and a Track Meet in May.  In the P.E. classes the students try out, make the team & spend time practicing during P.E. classes, at recess and after school.

 

Runs and Races:

 In addition, during the school year, there are 10 city-wide 5 K Races in which Grimes students and their families participate.  The Races & the dates are as follows:

Sept 16 - Race for the Cure

Sept 23 – Hurricane Run

Nov   11 – Tulsa Run

Mar 10 – St. Patrick’s Day Run

Apr  14 – Get Fit Tulsa Run

Annual Fundraiser:

Also, in Grimes P.E. classes, the students participate in the annual Jump Rope for Heart Fundraiser which occurs in February, which is Heart Month.  And at the end of every school year there is a Bowling Field Trip for our 3rd, 4th & 5th graders to a local bowling alley.  All during the school year students collect Campbell’s Soup Labels and Box Tops for Education.  Once these are mailed in, we receive points, which in turn, allow us the joy of purchasing new P.E. equipment!
