HPS Curriculum - Physical Education and Health
The Hanscom Primary School physical education program is developed and implemented to provide opportunities for growth through

selected movement experiences while recognizing the needs, abilities, and interests of each child. The physical education instructors allow each child to strive toward fulfilling his/her potentialities. Emphasis is on self-improvement and the ability to think through and analyze skills and strategies.

Developmental learning experiences are selected for the physical education program from the following primary level (grades k-3) activity areas:

. Basic motor skills
. Movement exploration
. Manipulative activities
. Fitness activities
. Rhythmic activities
. Individual and group challenge activities
. Gymnastics with apparatus
