Because of Covid, many students were kept indoors even more because of the pandemic and parents working at home. Many of the students in our population that we service do not have yards to play in, or grass to run around in. We provide students with a variety of equipment/play toys outside for them to engage with. Students use many skills while playing outside with their classmates. They work on social emotional learning, taking turns, working together, problem solving etc. The students also work on gross motor skills, balance, coordination, catching balls, kicking balls, riding scooters, etc.
Physical Development standards:
1.PK.1 - Identify the basic vocabulary of simple movement patters (walk, run, jump, climb, hop)
2.PK.2 - perform a variety of large motor skills (throw a ball in a purposeful direction, attempt to catch a large ball)
4.PK.1 - engage in daily moderate to vigorous physical activity
5.PK.1 - participate appropriately during physical activities
5.PK.2 - Demonstrate turn taking and cooperations during physical activities
5.PK.3 - interact positively with others regardless of personal differences
Social Emotional standards:
1.PK.1a - make independent choices from diverse interest centers or activities
5.Pk.1d - initiate play, or enter into play with a group of children already playing
5.PK.2b - take turns with teacher support
