Christiansen's Syllabus
*Overview/ Goals- Here at Canyon, our goal is to develop physically educated and physically fit students who will become committed to lifelong health and physical well- being. This is done in a fun and safe environment where ALL students can thrive. It is essential that students follow the teachers’ directions, respect others, and participate fully in all activities while considering safety at all times and using the equipment properly as directed.
*Requirements/ Grading- Grading will consist of WEEKLY EXERCISE LOGS: 30 minutes of activity a day and 2 GOOGLE MEETS: To receive full credit students must attend the ENTIRE TIME until the teacher releases them. Grades will be entered weekly in AERIES. Please send a note/ email to your teacher. A medical doctor's note is required if a student is unable to participate for more than 3 consecutive days.

Welcome to 2020-2021
I am so glad you are in my class this year--we are going to have fun!
P.E. Activities: Students will typically participate 2 days each week in a Synchronous Fitness Activity (Trunk Lift, Curl-ups, Push-ups, and/or activities that promote physical fitness levels) and 3 days each week in an asynchronous activity including a running component on Wednesdays.
Here are some terms you should be familiar with for Distance Learning:
Weekly Playlists - agendas, videos, assignments, and weekly physical Education logs for each week
Google Classroom - where you complete and submit your work; this page shows you how to log in
Synchronous Classwork - work you do during our scheduled time together in Google Meets
Asynchronous Homework - work you do independently during times when our class isn't meeting
