Movement and Games Throughout the Curriculum
The movement education class is a time and space for the children to foster the development of several intelligences that enliven the physical, social and mental abilities innate in the students.

The primary focus in class is on the bodily/kinesthetic and spatial skills of the students, through the physical experience of strength, coordination, suppleness, and stamina. Another area is the intra and/or interpersonal development (social skills) of the child in the interaction with others through communication, caring, respect and sharing. Also promoted is the area of logical and critical thinking skills through gaming strategies, cooperative problem solving, formations and patterns of movement and mental games. These capacities are cultivated in the movement class through the following activities:

First through eighth grade: circle games, singing games, hand clapping games, swinging, jumping, climbing, jumping rope, running, skipping, hopping, free play, tumbling, ball passing, gymnastics, rhythmic movement skills, throwing skills, tagging games, fitness games, blindfolded games, parachute games, animal movement activities, rod exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises, balancing exercises, track and field, Medieval Games, Greek games, sports, and circus arts.
