Physical Education at Gardner is centered around FUN and Learning. All students are encouraged to participate, and do their best. To start the year we go through basic skills and movements, and work our way into game play and competitive sports. Safety, fun, and participation are the number one priorities of my class. Students participate in activities that integrate Math, Science, Technology, and Literacy. Every year in October one week is designated as Bus Safety Week. Students are taught about Danger Zones around the bus. They are taught how to act on the bus, and younger students are taught what to do when crossing the street. February is a time to learn about Jump Roping and supporting The American Heart Association.
