Parent Note:

 

            I am pleased to have your child participate in Chapel Hill's Elementary's Physical Education Program. It is my desire as the Physical Education teacher to teach my students:

• a variety of enjoyable, all-inclusive physical activities, designed to build self-confidence, and promote cooperation, fair play, and responsible participation, while encouraging lifetime fitness pursuits.

•  a wide array of activities that are action-packed, providing lots of choices and opportunities to challenge your child with countless opportunities for success, no matter the skill level. 

• to move from comfortable, familiar, and functional physical education to movement education instruction that is rich with opportunities to engage in fun, challenging, and dynamic experiences.

• fun, movement and skill-based games, provided in a context of realistic situations that promote the skills of communication, cooperation and personal responsibility, while learning to apply critical thinking and problem-solving; crucial life-skills that are necessary to allow all of us to think for ourselves and be productive human beings. Incorporating these skills in games is the perfect way to teach for transfer by providing children with a hands-on approach to practicing and learning skills of this nature.

• games that go beyond exhibiting rote memorization of performing skills to games and activities that present problems, thus requiring students to learn how to brainstorm, collaborate, put into action and evaluate strategies in order to be successful.

 

      This school year I would like to invite you to visit our physical education class. You will see children participating in developmentally appropriate activities that will help increase their physical competence, self-esteem, and joy of being physically active no matter what their physical abilities may be. By enhancing your children's physical activity education, I am certain we will be able to help your children enjoy a lifetime of physical activity and good health. I welcome your support!

 

Dear Parents:

      Please remember to have your child wear or bring an extra pair of tennis shoes on days that your child has physical education.  It is not safe for your child to participate in anything else. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to teach and do life with your child.
