Hilltop students off to a fantastic start in Physical Education with Ms. Deitrick. This year, they are learning that PE is about so much more than running, jumping and playing games. It’s about learning how to move, work together, challenge ourselves and support one another.

During the first part of the year, students are focusing on teamwork, cooperation, balance, body control, communication and social-emotional health. Through a variety of fun movement activities, cooperative challenges and games, students are learning how to listen to others, take turns, solve problems, encourage their classmates and work together toward a common goal. Balance and body control activities help students develop fundamental movement skills while becoming more aware of how their bodies move through space. Students are practicing controlling their movements, maintaining balance, changing directions and combining different movement patterns.

PE also provides students with opportunities to develop social and emotional skills. Students are learning how to communicate respectfully, handle challenges, celebrate the success of others and recognize that everyone brings different strengths and abilities to our PE community.

At Hilltop, the goal is to create a PE environment where every student feels successful, included, and excited to move. We are building skills that students can take far beyond the gym skills that help them become confident movers, supportive teammates, thoughtful classmates and healthy individuals.
