P.E. and the Open Classroom Philosophy

Whole Child Learning at the O.C. also involves trying many different sports and games to:

  • learn how to work with others
  • build strength & coordination
  • practice emotional and physical self-regulation

Learning playground game basics makes it easy to go anywhere and play with anybody.

In addition to regular P.E. classes, we take frequent field trips to recreation centers and offer a variety of after school activities throughout the year.

Students are safer and more confident when wearing appropriate shoes and clothing to PE.
