Ms. Carol’s Elementary P.E. Class

Bienvenidos!!!  I have put together a list of different guidelines and expectations for my Elementary P.E. classes this year at Discovery School.  It is my goal to provide a learning environment that is positive, energetic, challenging and most of all fun.  The P. E. 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 in P.E. will be based on daily participation and attitude each student exhibits towards the teacher and fellow classmates.  As long as a student comes to class, wears an appropriate attire, demostrates an effort 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

Optional Materials for Class:  Bug Spray, hat and Sunscreen.
