HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Our Health curriculum encourages our students to develop healthy bodies that can be used to serve God and others. Topics include proper diet, fitness, the proper function of body systems, mental health, and the importance of proper social and spiritual habits.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION PERSPECTIVE To realize that our bodies are temples of the Lord and to learn that care for the body is our responsibility and integral to our PE program. |
PROGRAM The Physical Education program, involving both indoor and outdoor activities, stress a growing development in the following areas:
- Basic movement experience

LANGUAGE ARTS
The Language Arts program is the academic heart of our curriculum. Language is such a special gift of God that He has made it permeate all other aspects of our lives. It is language that makes us listen to each other: to think clearly, to express our thoughts and feelings, to pray, to understand God’s Word, to understand literature. Reading, writing, listening, and speaking are the skills that unlock other subjects for us and that make us capable of pursuing knowledge independently. Students are exposed to a wide variety of literature and explore many genres. Students are encouraged to develop their own literary skills through formal instruction in Spelling, Phonics, Grammar, and Writing. The Daily 5 is a program implemented in all primary grades.
