Washington Latin Public Charter School

The Washington Latin PCS physical education program is designed to develop and strengthen the physical, social and emotional needs of children participating in athletic, fitness related, and recreational activities. The program encourages students to participate in and enjoy various activities. Each student is introduced to skills and lead-up games to offer a better understanding of a particular activity. Physical education is offered every day with units of instruction lasting two or three weeks.

It is the primary goal of the physical education program that each child enjoys every activity while participating in a socially comfortable atmosphere. Competition and winning and losing have little emphasis within the parameters of the physical education curriculum. Fair play and good sportsmanship are encouraged and expected in all activities.

Goals of the Washington Latin PCS Physical Education program:

To develop fundamental and age-appropriate skills.

To develop physical, social and emotional growth.

To develop compassion and good sportsmanship.

To promote responsibility.

To develop a feeling of enjoyment and self-accomplishment.

To develop an understanding that winning and losing are not the ultimate end in athletic participation.
