4th Grade Physical Education

The Mark Day School physical education program contributes to each child's total growth and development, primarily through running, physical activities, and team games. Through the blend of traditional and non-traditional sports, a running/fitness program, and an emphasis on sportsmanship and inclusion, our students are learning to embrace a lifelong love of sports, activity, and movement. Research shows that movement during the school day improves academic performance and focus. Our PE program prides itself on being a safe space to grow and learn, and all students are encouraged to step outside their comfort zone and learn through play. Learning in physical education involves thinking through actions, processing information, feeling, and utilizing skills they acquire.
