The primary goal of my physical education class is to promote the overall wellness of the child. All children may not have the desire to participate in sports, but EVERY child should be physically active.

This year, as well as every year, I will work to improve the child’s core strength as well as their endurance. The highlight of my class is the Presidential Fitness Test where students will be able to assess themselves by age and gender of their strength, flexibility, and endurance. I want to create a foundation that will benefit the student now and in the future.

Other activities that I have planned for the students will be: Soccer, Volleyball, Jump Rope, Yoga, and Pilates just to name a few. The sports that are offered in the middle and high school, I will try to give them a base so they will have an idea of what to expect in the future. My class will be challenging at times, but will have more rewards in the end.
