Welcome to Alburgh physical education where students work to improve what they know, can do, and value.

Students experience a variety of units in physical education with a focus on meeting the SHAPE learning standards. SHAPE Grade Level Outcomes A majority of what we do has imbedded components of cooperation and good sportsmanship.

Younger students focus on building basic movement foundations such as locomotor movements, throwing, catching, striking, rhythm, balance, and coordination. We also learn to ride a bike in the primary grades!

As students progress we continue to build skills and begin to work more on strategies and tactics. Students can expect to work towards the standards while playing spikeball, ultimate football, pickleball, nitroball, volleyball, fitness activities, and basketball. We also snowshoe beginning in 3rd grade!

Students in grades K-2 meet three times a week for 30 minutes.

Students in grades 3-8 meet twice a week for 45 minutes.

Students are required to wear well fitting sneakers.
