Physical Education (PE): Students participate in a structured motor skills program three days per week Students are required to wear appropriate clothing (tennis shoes, pants or shorts) on their assigned P.E. days.  All physical workouts will begin with age appropriate stretching exercises followed by a series of small and gross motor skills development activities in the following areas:  fitness training, neurological efficiency training and sport skills

Art:   Our students will have the opportunity to work with a qualified artist from the Art Masters Program.  They will receive six lessons during the course of the school year.  The lessons will involve learning about various artists and the different techniques used by each one of these artists.  Each lesson begins with a history lesson about the artist and will culminate into an art activity that allows each child to create his or her own masterpiece using different mediums and utilizing the various styles and techniques of the artist they are learning about.
