Hello,

This is my 9th year as a teacher and this is one of the most exciting times of the year. Welcome to the 2019-2020 School year. I am so excited to teach the best middle school students in the world. There are so many exciting activities that the students will participate in within the physical education class. These activities include:

Volleyball
Basketball
Pickle ball
Badminton
Soccer
Flag Football
Ultimate football
Ultimate Frisbee
Fast break
Fitness-gram testing
Team building activities

Students will have a chance to socialize and work cooperatively with their classmates. The physical education curriculum is based on a team sports concept. I can't wait to get started on the activities!!

We are counting down to testing. Furthermore, testing will be approaching next week and I am confident that the students will perform well on the standardized tests. Students have had countless opportunities to receive extended learning times on USA Test Prep, Achieve 3000, and IXL platforms. I am excited to witness the test scores from our magnificent students.

Let's Dominate the GMAS!!!

Parents:

Its such an honor to be apart of the education field and I'm so excited to begin my 8th year of my remarkable journey as a Physical Education Teacher. Im grateful, blessed, and optimistic in working with your children this year. There is so much excitement within the physical department and we want your children to master the standards along with getting enjoyment out of the activities. Our goal is to increase the social, cognitive and physchomotor domains of this content area. Physical education is so important to these children and my goal is to ensure that they are getting the very best out of the curriculum. The program will consist more of integration of different subject matter within the program. This will allow your children to recieve extentions of learning from the academic classrooms.

Students will also be tested on a National testing system, "Fitnessgram". This test encompasses basically the five components of fitness.

1. Flexibility  2. Body Composition  3. Cardiovascular Endurance  4. Muscular Strength

5. Muscular Endurance 

Students will also be tested on SGM Student growth measures

Team sport Activities include:

Basketball, Whiffleball, ultimate frisbee, handball, fitness, football, soccer, badminton, cooperative games, and fitnessgram

Whats my teaching philosophy: Everyone is capable of learning. When students realize that you care about them, they will go to extreme limits  to put more into the learning process to achieve their highest potential.
