Physical Education: The mission of Physical Education at Eagleton elementary is to teach the Habit of Fitness. Many students today follow a sedentary lifestyle. This can lead to a variety of health problems later on in life, such as diabetes, heart disease, and general obesity. Our goal at Eagleton is to teach each child, through the use of games, skills, dance, and other activities, the necessary skills to lead and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Goals for the primary grade (K-2) students are fitness skills, dance, and movement fundamentals. Intermediates students (grades 3-5) will continue their emphasis on fitness skills and dance, but will also learn a variety of team and individual sports, as well as ballroom dance. Intermediate students will also take part in our annual Jump-Rope-For-Heart fundraiser. Field Day scheduled in June, is a day of physical activity and fun where many parents visit and observe the type of play and sportsmanship we encourage at Eagleton.
Fitness is also encouraged outside the school day through the use of our school intramural sports program. Open to grades 4 and 5, kids take part in a variety of team sports, such as floor hockey and volleyball. In the future, 3rd graders may also be able to participate. More information will be sent home when available.

Art:Although Art is considered an enjoyable subject, students work hard at creating art and also reading and writing about art. Art instruction includes teaching students elements of art (line, color, shape, texture, and space) in order to incorporate them into different projects using the principles of design (contrast, repetition, pattern, and size relationships). Students learn new drawing techniques and practice them every day.
Lessons begin with a historical reference that sometimes includes a famous artist or image found in our brand new art textbooks. Students create a practice drawing on sketchbook paper before they begin their final piece. Every student at Eagleton will complete a sketchbook that will be taken home at the end of the year.
Student artwork is showcased in the front hallway. Please stop by and admire the beautiful artwork.
Arte: Para poder leer, escribir y crear arte, lecciones en la clase de arte
comienzan con una referencia histróica que, a veces, incluye un artista o
una imagen famosa. Los estudiantes aprenden los elementos de arte (línea,
color, forma, textura y espacio) y los principios de diseño (contraste,
repetición, patrón y tamaño) para crear diferentes proyectos artísticos. Mucha practica con el uso de materiales de arte al fin resulta en proyectos
finales que se pueden ver en la vitrina del pasillo de la escuela.
