NOTE: 
In general, Physical Education is divided at the elementary school level into two broad curriculum parts: Lower Grade PE and Upper Grade PE. 
Lower grade PE involves Grades K, 1, and 2. These grade levels have an emphasis on spatial awareness, body control, locomotor skills, and object manipulation skills. There are no "team sports" done by lower grades because they are not developmentally ready to play team sports. Therefore, the emphasis is on basic skills that will lead to success when team sports begin.

Upper grade PE, grades 3, 4, and 5, emphasize "team sports. In grades 3, 4, and 5, the Instructional Units are relatively similar for all three years. However, there is a "Scope and Sequence," a gradual increase in performance expectations through these years. For example, the Grade 3 year is a series of "Basic Introductions" to sports and the sports skills are taught individually (in basketball: dribbling, shooting, passing, court movement, etc.). The scope and sequence which is used is related to the developmental level of the students. All sports games are modified games, in order to accommodate the developmental level of the students.In grades 4 and 5, the performance expectations increase and more opportunities are given the students; always in relation to their developmental level. By the fifth grade year, students have achieved a level of knowledge and skill in each sport and possess the basic competence and confidence to excel at Physical Education at the Middle School level and/or in an extracurricular situation.
