LESHER PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Welcome Vikings to the 2021-2022 school year!

We don’t know if y’all can possibly comprehend how much we are looking forward to be working with you this year! It is exciting to be teaching in person which allows us to build our classroom community in the same way as we have in years prior to the pandemic. Our current blessings help us to reflect on past challenges and to enter into our new experiences with gratitude and precision.

Regardless of what we face this year will utilize our current platform to strengthen your physical and emotional wellness through connections, relationships, and enjoyment! It is our wish that your physical education experiences serve to provide you an opportunity to reflect, prioritize, and give gratitude for the things most important in your lives. Our ability to move our bodies is a gift! We want to remind you how important it is to keep our bodies moving to improve and maintain our physical and emotional health.

To set you up for success within our setting, we have the expectation of 100% participation within all learning sessions. We will use a combination of Physical Education content, Social-Emotional Learning, and movement concepts for you to process and apply your learning in ways that will improve your health and well-being. Physical activity is a key contributor to positive mental health. Moving our bodies increases the release of serotonin which improves our overall mood, and assists us in coping with stress, depression, and anxiety. In addition, our focus and clarity are greatly improved when we aim for 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each and every day.

Please email us anytime if you have any questions or concerns around class processes or simply to let us know how or what you are doing. In addition to our Google Classroom, our Instagram account is a pretty popular social media resource. Follow us @lesher_ms_pe and tag us if you are doing something awesome...post away (visiting or posting to our Instagram account will never be required). Most importantly, take care of yourself, each other, and our community by being your best self! This is going to be a great year!
