Middle School PE Swimming


VIRTUAL LEARNERS:

If you are a virtual learner, you need to go to my Google Classroom each day of class and fill out the attendance form. This must be done by midnight each day of class in order for you to be counted present. If you miss the midnight deadline, there is no need to fill out this form any longer.

If you are a virtual learner, in order to earn your weekly grade, you must complete the 5 min. exercise video in flipgrid, through the assignment in Google Classroom.

FACE TO FACE LEARNERS:

Each day you come to class, you are expected to dress out and participate to the best of your ability.

If for some reason you do not participate in class, you will be required to do the 5 min. workout video in flipgrid, posted in the Google Classroom.

Your grade each week is based on your participation in class. You will also have test grades which are based on your knowledge of the skills we learn (can demonstrate them correctly).

Hi! I am Coach Sikkema...

I am a born and raised Texan, grew up swimming, teaching and coaching right here in the Houston area. I started working for the district in 2006, coaching the high school teams (North Shore and Galena Park) in 2017 and teaching this class in 2019. I am married to a swimming coach as well. His name is Craig and he coaches in Friendswood. I have no children but I do have a cat named Maddie. She just turned 12 this summer. I love to read, especially sitting outside by my pool, and I also love to play bingo! If I could have any other career, it would be a chef--I really love to cook. But, teaching is my passion. I have been teaching/coaching swimming, in one way or another, for 37 years. I am also beginning my 13th year of teaching school.

I am very much looking forward to this second year of the class and working with all of the returning and new students!

Let's get ready to SPLASH!
