Physical Education
Hello, my name is Mr. Kirby and I have been teaching Physical Education (PE) for 15 years. I started teaching in Montgomery County, where I grew up. I moved to Charles County 5 years ago and started teaching at Malcolm shortly after that.
In PE, students will explore a skills-based curriculum designed to encourage movement and focus on the development of gross motor skills.
- Students will learn basic movement patterns and perform skills found in sports such as throwing, dribbling, kicking.
- Students will also play modified sports that encourage teamwork, strategies, and sportsmanship.
Students K-5th grade receive a weekly PE grade that focuses on the "3 S' of PE."
- Safety
- Sportsmanship
- Skill development
Students will also be graded on skill performance and PE content knowledge.
