Primary
K-2
In K (kindergarten), 1 (first grade), and 2 (second grade), students learn how to move their bodies safely in general space using locomotor skills such as skipping, galloping, leaping, running, walking, etc. This is done in games and activities that teach them how to function in groups and individually. They also learn the concepts of how the body functions, how to fuel their bodies, and how exercise affects the way they feel. Primary students are also introduced to the fundamental skills of throwing, kicking, dribbling (with feet & hands), and striking with an implement.

Intermediate
3-5
In levels 3 (third grade), 4 (fourth grade), and 5 (fifth grade), students are introduced to health and fitness concepts such as the F.I.T.T. principal, the five components of health related fitness, and nutrition. Students learn how to use results from fitness assessments that they take to set health and fitness goals. They also learn how the musculoskeletal system works to produce physical movements and how the cardiorespiratory system works to provide the body with oxygen to produce energy during physical activity. Intermediate students begin to explore more complex physical movements that they apply to games and activities that help to improve agility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility.
