Start of the new year!

Greetings Chargers!          It has been a great start to the new year! The students have been actively participating in non-traditional spacial awareness and locomotive games. The students have been learning about anatomy and classroom procedures. The next couple of weeks will include catching, trowing and hockey. We are going to be concentrating on positive interactions with others and showing good sportsmanship. I will be having Socratic discussions of different activities that they can do outside the classroom to stay healthy. We will also be discussing different food groups and food choices. Please see below for the PE curriculum that will be our base for the year. The activities and time of the year they take place are subject to change. I hope your child has been having a great year so far and Go Chargers! Best Regards, Coach Gethings   Skill/Unit Purpose Possible Activities Lesson ...

Welcome to the 2017 New Year!

  Greetings Chargers, Welcome to P.E!  My name is Coach Gethings, I will be teaching K-2 P.E. this year. I am a certified Personal Trainer and EMT with numerous specialty certifications including nutrition and weight management. We will start the year by listening to the story of Slow Poke Joe and have a Socratic discussion. This story will teach students to persevere, help each other and create friendships. This week all students will be working on the locomotor skills using various movements of walking, skipping and running.  They will also be participating in relay races and spacial awareness drills including bean bag and hula hoop activities. Next week I will build onto the skills of the first week to include more movements. These skills will provide each student the foundation for the rest of the years P.E. activities.  Hope you and your family have a great year. Go Chargers! Best regards, Coach Gethings *Please be sure...
