I am so excited to be joining my school's community this year! My goal is to develop physically literate children who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of physical activity. We will be learning movement concepts, fitness components, sports-related skills, cooperative learning, and nutrition.
I am working along side another Physical Education teacher. We are excited to able to offer our students Physical Education twice a week this year due to having an additional PE teacher in the school.
In order to make space for my teaching schedule, I will be teaching in the cafeteria. This whiteboard/cork board and basic printer will allow me to give proper instruction and structure to my lessons. Specifically, I will utilize the whiteboard to write "Today's Goal" for every class so students are always able to know what we will be working on for the day. On the cork board side, I will create a word wall with words from our current unit. I will be using the printer for various reasons- mainly to print self and peer assessments for students to work on. In addition, I will be using the printer to keep the cafeteria space full of visuals.
