WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL

PE class 2012-2013
Bienvenidos!!!

We have put together a list of different guidelines and expectations for the Physical Education classes this year at Discovery School. We hope to provide a learning environment that is positive, energetic, challenging and most of all fun. The Physical Education classes will be a great opportunity for the students to begin learning and living an active lifestyle. The benefits of an active lifestyle are infinite and positive. I look forward to an amazing experience with each and every one of your children.

Goals: We will use the word R. E. S. P. E. C. T. to set the main goals for the year.

R – Right to Learn – Every child has this right to be educated!
E – Effort – Win or lose, trying is the most important trait.
S – Safety – The number one priority each and every day!
P – Purpose – Understanding how the activity can benefit you.
E – Enthusiasm – Positive energy creates a positive environment!
C – Challenge – Challenge yourself to improve each day.
T – Trust/Teamwork – Work with and trust others, the result can be amazing!

Grades:

The grades will be based on daily participation and attitudes towards the teacher and their classmates. As long as the student is coming to class, trying to be actively involved, and has a positive attitude, the grades will be favorable.

Rules:

Have fun!
No candy/food/gum!
Positive attitudes!
Don’t leave supervised areas!
R.E.S.P.E.C.T
