Welcome to Mr. Nakonechy's Web Page
About me: I am a hardworking, dedicated, and enthusiastic graduate of Montclair State University that is currently working as a full- time Physical Education and Health teacher at Hanover public schools. I also completed my school leadership training at William Paterson University. Outside of the Gymnasium, I served as the Athletic Director at Oak Crest Day Camp in Somerset, NJ. This position allows me to create and develop the camp athletics curriculum, lead and advise the Athletic Specialists, and most importantly, work hand in hand with our campers. Prior to becoming the Athletic Director, I worked as a Camp Counselor at Oak Crest Day Camp with 7th grade boys since Summer 2013. I also currently coach the Memorial Junior School boys soccer team. These roles have provided me with the foundations in student management, instructional design, and hands-on experience in leading students in the classroom and gymnasium.

Class Structure
Our daily lesson plan is broken down into 3 major areas. In each of these areas we include activities that develop skills and concentrate on elements that coincide with each.
Warm up: (10 minutes) Students learn and perform the 3 components of fitness. The components are flexibility, muscular strength and cardiovascular endurance.
Skills: (15 Minutes) The purpose of this segment is to go over the basic skills of a sport or body movements so when the students move onto the middle school they can try out and play sports with confidence.
Game: (20 Minutes) The final part of this structure is where we put it all together and see where the students can improve.
