 Discover a new way to engage students in movement while teaching literacy and numeracy! Literacy Physical Education (LitPE) and Math Physical Education (MathPE) programs are designed to help students that have fallen behind, based on the statewide reading and/or math assessment. The data shows that students who participate in the LitPE and/or MathPE 12 week programs will more than double their peers and up to three times the national average on the winter assessment. Students come to the gym for fifteen minutes everyday for 12 weeks. LitPE embeds fluency, comprehension and spelling into movement activities. MathPE embeds addition, subtraction, multiplication and division into movement activities. Students in this class learn how to combat “learned helplessness” by the end of the 12 week program. Students will use whiteboards, markers and towels as their learning tools. This class has been implemented into grades 2 – 6.
