Classroom Bio:

My name is Elizabeth Breinich.  I will be teaching your child in the class of Physical Education and Wellness.  My goal as an educator is to provide students with a positive experience in movement and to encourage students to find some form of exercise that they enjoy.  I am looking forward to meeting your child and getting to know their strengths and interests.

Curriculum/Strategies:

All students are expected to wear tennis shoes during their physical education class period.
 

Physical Education is on a three-day rotation, so your child will have gym one or two times a week.

If your child is sick or injured and cannot participate in class for an extended period of time, a note from the doctor is required so that they can be excused. 

During the year, your student will learn about the importance of consistent physical exercise, proper nutrition, and good hygiene.  Students will study basic facts about the human body including their heart, skeleton and muscles.

Classroom Events:

Intramurals: Tuesday and Thursday
Time:  After School  (2:45-3:15)
Students: 4^th and 5^th grade students 

I would live to invite any 4^th and 5^th student to participate in after school intramurals.  Intramurals will focus on organized games, fitness activities and lifetime activities.  Intramurals will begin on Tuesday, October 6^th, 2009 and will continue through March of 2010.  Students will need a permission slip in order to participate in the program.  Permission slips can be picked up in the gym from Mrs. Breinich.
