At Walker, we know that physical activity activitates the mind and enhances high levels of learning. In light of this belief, we ensure students receive a minimum of 200 minutes of PE, every two weeks. During these instructional minutes, students engage in gross motor movement, learn rules of gameplay, complete with one another, and work to improve fitness levels.
Curriculum and instruction in Physical Educaiton (PE) is designed from the content standards, approved by the California Department of Education.
In addition to receiving standards based instruction in PE, students have numerous additional opportunities to move, including recess, morning running club, after school activities, and in-class movement breaks.
