Movement & Games From ancient times to the early 1900s physical education focused on body mastery through movement in all manners, not just sports.  In this course, movement is primarily taught through calisthenics which focuses on strengthening the body through body weight.  Children will also work on skills that are essential to life and sports such as balance, hand-eye coordination, endurance, agility, strategy, and mobility.  This class will be both fun and challenging.  Fun in that children will see the benefits of positive change and experience how good it feels to move.  There will also be games the early pioneers enjoyed on the prairie that are just good old-fashioned fun!  The challenge will come from doing things that are meant to push them as life is difficult and worthwhile things are always difficult.  -Satisfies Physical Education State Requirement EC Section 51241
