Why have Physical Education?
Physical Education at Coal Creek Elementary is an important part of each child's total education. Physical Education is more than recess, more than a time to play, it's a time for learning. Our first aim is to help students improve their motor skill development. Motor skills are critical life skills that enable us to go about our daily lives effectively and safely. In addition to helping students become more skillful movers, we attempt to help them feel good about themselves as movers so they can feel comfortable participating in new and different activities. We try to help students experience success in physical education so that they will enjoy and participate in physical activity both at school and at home. If we give students a good foundation of skill development, cognitive understanding, and positive attitudes towards themselves in physical activity, they will be well on their way to becoming adults who enjoy the benefits of physically active and healthy lifestyles.

Suggestions that will help promote and increase safe participation in physical education classes.

• Please remind all students to wear tennis shoes (no sandals, jellies, thongs, dress shoes, or boots) and comfortable clothing on physical education days.
• If students cannot participate due to illness or injury, please send a note.
• Show an interest in your students activities in physical education. Ask them to keep you informed about what they are working on and learning, and encourage them to practice at home or at recess.

Parents, please feel free at any time to observe your student during physical education.
