Students:
-Learn individual movements and postures that incorporate balance, strength, and flexibility. Movements and postures are learned and sequenced specific to the student's age and development .
-Develop awareness of their body in relation to physical activity, nutrition, and overall health. Students learn to relate postures, movements, and breathing exercises to daily life in and out of school.
-Learn to work cooperatively, follow rules, and understand the relationship between their actions and the effects on those around them through group and partner exercises.
Instruction is offered to special education and regular education students before, during, or after school hours. Class size will vary depending on the age and need of the students.
