Health/PE - Special

The Special P.E. program is designed to meet the needs of many special students. These students include those who have mental and/or physical disabilities. These disabilities impact their education and employability. During the year, we take several trips to the bowling alley, the Special Olympics, and Windy Hill sports complex.

Goals:

Teach physical fitness skills that students may take into their adult life. Help students understand the importance of life long fitness.

Activities:

The students will participate in various activities, such as: fitness skills, volleyball, badminton, tennis, track & field, bowling, golf, and basketball.

Fitness Center:

The fitness center will be used for daily warm-ups and full fitness work outs. Students may use a stationary bike or step machine for aerobic conditioning. Students may also then do a series of stretches for flexibility. They learn to properly use variable weight machines on their own and keep a fitness log documenting their progress in the fitness center. On non-conditioning days we still have a warm-up session then move on to the activity for the rest of the block.
