Welcome All!
My name is Mr. Jurik and I am one of the three Health and Physical Educators at the Village Elementary School!
My Classroom: I plan to establish a classroom built on the foundation of respect! I want all the students to know I care about them and want the best possible education for them! They will all be on a 6 day rotation with 2 of those days dedicated to Physical Education and 1 to Health! As one of my students, you can look forward to Team Bonding Activities, Fitness, Cooperation, Dance, Gymnastics, Fun Physical Education Games and so much more! I want our students to see the importance of being a "good sport" in every activity we do. We will start off the year will learning routines, safety, boundaries, and how to respect others. Throughout the year we will be touching upon fun activities regarding different parts of the upper body and lower body, as well as learning the basic muscles that go along with it! There will be a rewards system in place for every class to try their best and work their hardest!
Aside from Physical Education, as a school we have a very good Health Curriculum as well. The topics included are Personal and Mental Health, Family Life, Nutrition and Fitness, Stress Management, Safety and Injury Prevention, Environmental Awareness, Drugs and Alcohol, Human Development, and Disease Prevention. We would be using a variety of learning strategies to help the students understand the topics as best as possible. We will use in class discussions, videos, different websites as well as completing fun in class activities! These activities can range from word searches, crosswords, fill in's with word banks, and much much more! Homework will rarely be assigned because we believe the students need some time to help settle in after the year we've all had, and work on their own mental health. However, on the rare occasion it is assigned, please make sure you get it done to be prepared for the next day!
