Mr. Kelp
Hi! I am Mr. Kelp and I will be teaching Pre-K - Grade 8 PE this year. I recently retired from teaching Health and PE at Novi High School, where I taught for 23 years. Last year I taught PE to K-8th grade at St. Mathews School.
In addition to teaching, I coached varsity girls basketball for 14 years and spent 3 years as an assistant college basketball coach at Hope College in Holland, MI. This year I will have my biggest challenge yet, coaching my 9 and 10-year-old daughters on their travel basketball team.
I graduated from Michigan State University, have a BA and Masters in Education, and am a die-hard Detroit sports fan. Go Green! I live in South Lyon, Michigan with my wife, Lisa, and my daughters Annie and Gracie.
PreK - 1st P.E.
In Pre-K through First grade our focus in P.E. will be on gross locomotor skills, manipulative skills, and spacial awareness. This will be achieved through various games, activities, and basic introductions to sports.
2nd - 5th P.E.
In second through fifth grades the concentration will be on sport specific units, 4-5 class periods that focus on rules, skill development and culminate in dynamic gameplay of both team and individual sports.
6th - 8th P.E
Jr. High will continue with sports education with the focus being on lifetime learning and an active/healthy lifestyle. Jr. High curriculum will be comprised of both physical and knowledge based approach to P.E.
