The goal of the Berlin Public Schools Elementary Physical Education Program is to enhance communication skills and provide students with an understanding of the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  It is paramount that students learn a variety of important life skills, which include movement skills, knowledge, and behavior/social skills over the course of each school year.  Some of these include: locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills, team-building, social interaction skills, and cognitive concepts linked to fitness, wellness, skill development, and social skills appropriate to each grade/developmental level.  We want all students to be competent in a variety of fundamental motor skills, because these skills enhance everyday living.
