Deerfield Elementary Physical Education Mission
The mission of Deerfield Elementary's Physical Education Program is to provide appropriate instruction which maximizes an individual’s potential for developing and maintaining a healthy body, mind, and character. A quality PE program is fundamental for our students. Why do children need a quality PE program? The simple answer is so that they will remain physically active throughout their lifetime and reap the benefits of doing so. Quality PE provides students with a multitude of learning experiences that cannot be duplicated in the classroom. Physical Education teaches motor skills, improves physical fitness, reinforces other subjects, helps self-discipline, leadership and cooperation, enhances self-efficacy, reduces stress, and strengthens peer relationships.

Why Teach Physical Education?
Good Sportsmanship
It is extremely important to remind students about the importance of using good sportsmanship and not worry so much about losing in PE or sports in general.
Children should play games where they win and lose, or they will never get a chance to learn how to win and lose respectfully.
So many children nowadays do not know how to lose and it is a part of life and I feel it is important to teach them how to lose at the elementary level so that when they are faced with losing, they know how to handle it.
If we never play games that have winners and losers, then we are contributing to the “everyone's a winner” entitlement culture that so many young kids are a part of nowadays and that is not real life.
Instead of creating unrealistic expectations in the minds of our students about how they will always win and be successful at everything they attempt, we need to teach them how to win and lose with good sportsmanship and treat the other team, coaches, parents, and officials with respect no matter what the outcome of the game is. -This statement on Sportsmanship was paraphrased from a fellow PE colleague Ben that goes by The PE Specialist. Thank you Ben!
