The emphasis is on moving through space and time. Students learn to demonstrate the qualities of movement (space, time, force, flow, levels, directions, and pathways) as they perform a variety of fundamental locomotor (running, hopping, skipping, jumping, leading, sliding, galloping) and nonlocomotor (bending, twisting, turning, rocking, swaying, balancing, stretching, pushing, and pulling) skills. Students learn to manipulate objects with purposeful movement (throwing, catching, striking, kicking, bouncing, and rolling). Students participate in a variety of fitness development exercises. Students learn playground rules and safety for self and others.
