Our PE program at Linton is guided by the SHAPE America nationwide standards. We have 10 areas of focus within our PSD elementary PE classes, gymnastics/dance/climbing, chasing & fleeing, locomotor movement, striking & fielding, catching & throwing, kicking & dribbling, dribbling & shooting, volleying, health & fitness, and social and emotional skills. The PE program is set up so that each skill builds on itself year after year as students grow from kindergarten to 5th grade.
As the PE teacher at Linton, I do my best to make sure all students are successful in PE learning our skills as well as learning to play with sportsmanship. One of our biggest celebrations here at Linton is our Sportsmanship of the Week Award. 3rd-5th grade classes vote each week for students that have been doing their best in PE and showing great sportsmanship while interacting with their classmates.
