Class overview
Welcome to my physical education class! My goal is that by the end of 2nd grade, students will be able to perform the fundamental movement skills (running, skipping, galloping...), demonstrate being a good teammate, and understand what it means to show good sportsmanship.
We do a variety of different games and units in the gym. Some of my favorites include the jump rope unit and turning the gym into a haunted gym for Halloween.
To promote good behavior, at the end of every month, a "star student" is picked to try the impossible shot. To get picked, the student must follow the gym rules and show good sportsmanship throughout the month. If they make the shot, their picture gets put on the wall of fame.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy playing my guitar, traveling, and hanging out with my cat Cash. My favorite sports teams are the New York Giants, the New York Yankees, and the New Jersey Devils. I also coach the high school girls' JV basketball team.
I look forward to working with your child!
