+ Movement Education

(Two 30-minute classes per week)

The Beginners Movement curriculum provides students with developmentally appropriate activities that promote movement competence and understanding, foster healthy habits and social and emotional development, and instill in students a sense of confidence and joy in participating in physical activity. Students explore and practice various locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills, and are introduced to movement concepts that incorporate spatial awareness, effort, and relationships. Mindfulness exercises, yoga sequences, and dance and fitness activities are common threads throughout the year, as are cooperative group activities that help students build the skills of sharing, compromising, and encouraging others while practicing moving safely in personal and general space.
