Rockwell Elementary Brings Learning to Life with "Scooter City" in PE Class

Rockwell Elementary’s Physical Education program recently transformed the gymnasium into an engaging and interactive "Scooter City," offering students a creative and active way to learn and explore their community. This unique unit allowed students to navigate the gym’s imaginative streets on scooters while visiting various community landmarks.

The setup included stops at the mechanic’s shop, veterinarian clinic, bank, grocery store, car wash, gym, pizza and ice cream shop, DMV, post office, dance studio and gas station. Each station was designed to mimic real-world experiences, promoting physical activity, teamwork and an understanding of community roles. Even OCS Superintendent Rob Price took a tour of the “city.”

“The goal of Scooter City was to create a fun, hands-on learning experience where students could explore life skills and community interaction while staying active,” said Physical Education Teacher Nichole Demers. “The students’ enthusiasm and creativity truly brought the city to life.”
