13 Sep HU Students Holding PE Classes for Homeschoolers

Huntington University’s physical education students are offering a homeschool P.E. program for area children in grades K-5, with a special preschool class for children ages 3 and 4 this fall.

Children will split into one of four developmental levels: preschool (ages 3 and 4), grades K-1, grades 2-3, and grades 4-5. The nine class sessions will be offered from September to December. Class time is from 2:15 to 3 p.m. in the fieldhouse of the university’s Merillat Physical Education and Recreation Complex. The dates for the sessions are Sept. 27; Oct. 4, 11 and 25; Nov. 1, 8, 15 and 29; and Dec. 6.

The class is free to all participants. Preschool children must be accompanied by a parent, and the parent needs to be prepared to participate along with their child.

Huntington University students conducting the elementary physical education class are either physical education majors or elementary education majors. Curriculum development and supervision of the classes are provided by Dr. Jody Davenport, assistant professor of physical education.
