My PE Philosophy
I believe very strongly that PE should be about fitness rather than sports. In this day and age children/young adults have very little opportinuty to be active which leads to poor health. I feel that it is my job to give them the very exercise they need, to educate them on the importance of healthy habits and hope to instill in them the desire to become a healthier person.
The 3 parts of a PE class
The first part of class is made up of the exercise routine. This is the part of class when students receive a majority of their cardiovascular and muscular exercise. Each month we perform the core exercises in a different "exercise routine". The second part of class is made up of skill work. This is when we explore with equipment in a variety of ways to encourage body awareness and skill development. In the older classes this is when sport skills are practiced. The third part of class is a game promoting the variety of skills students have practiced.
