Physical Education

At Trinity Lone Oak Lutheran School we believe that movement and exercise is critical to a child's development. Our kindergarten-4th grade have phys. ed. every day of the school week, and 5th-8th grade have phys. ed. four days of the school week. We feel strongly that this helps students build healthy habits and develop large motor skills. Read below for a breakdown of what the elementary and middle school students learn throughout the year.

KINDERGARTEN

The focus at this age is on learning and developing locomotor and non-locomotor skills, it. how their bodies move and how to control their bodies. They also learn the importance of following directions, routines, and signals.

Some activities include:

3RD & 4TH GRADE

Moving up the focus changes to refining large motor skills to use in a more "sports" focused application. 3rd and 4th graders learn the importance of stretching, team work, and sportsmanship. They are also introduced into the rules and regulations of a variety of sports.

Some activities include:
