Welcome to Mr. Sweeney's P.E. Gym

Well, actually, I don't own the gym. 😉  But, I do sure like to get students moving in the gym.  I find it physically and mentally refreshing to lead kids through dynamic warm-ups, exercises, movement activities, and sport games.  I hope you discover the same physical and mental benefits of being active.

What We Do in P.E. Class

Each week, students learn, experience, and move through a variety of P.E. activities like:

• Dodge-and-Evade Games

• Calisthenics and Exercises for the whole body

• Running for the Golden Shoe Award (given to the class with the highest average # of laps per student)

• Team-building activities and Cooperative Gameplay

• Activities to challenge our Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Endurance & Strength, Balance, Coordination, Agility, Speed, Flexibility, and more

• And, of course, lots of activities to learn the rules of and develop motor skills for a variety of Sports

My goal is to develop students who develop a lifelong appreciation for and desire to stay in good physical shape.

 🏃 BCE Run Club

During the fall, I, and a group of awesome parent volunteers, lead the BCE Run Club on Tuesday and Friday mornings before school.   Obviously, we run lots! 😄😅  We also do group exercises, relays, and other movement activities.  The Run Club usually goes into hibernation / ends when we reach the Fall Break in mid-October.

😅 💪 BCE Fitness Club

This past winter and spring (2025), I started a BCE Fitness Club that worked out in the gym on Tuesday and Friday mornings before school.  I, and a group of dedicated parent volunteers, plan to lead students again through kid-focused and fun workouts during the winter and spring months of the School Year.
