Its Fast Forward Friday again, and this week we are focusing on PHYSICAL EDUCATION and RECESS! Were sure you know that physical activity is critically important to the holistic development of children as well as to their academic success. We are very excited to be making this upgrade, and we are sure the students will enjoy it, as well. So active time is being EXPANDED throughout the elementary school. PE will be taught THREE times a week, and there will be recess EVERY day. As an independent school, we are so lucky to have the ability to offer this developmentally important time to our students. (No changes were needed in Early Childhood as a great deal of EC time is physically active.) We will be selectively incorporating elements of a wonderful, research-based PE curriculum provided by SPARK Programs. SPARK is carefully designed to be more active, inclusive, and fun than traditional PE programs. In the upcoming year, PE will be taught to an entire grade at one time by Coach Weiser and a grade-level teacher. To learn more about how PE lessons will work, check out the Spark Programs web site below. If you have questions about Fast Forward Fridays, please reach out to Admissions Director Mireille Chait at [email protected] or 713-666-1884. We hope you enjoyed Week 8 of summer vacation! #byds
