PE - Coach Harrison's Corner

Welcome Back!    My name is Coach Harrison and I am looking forward to a great year.  I hope everyone had a great and memorable summer break.  This year is packed with some wonderful and exciting units.   

 

Update:  This year I’m starting something new.  I will implement  a class “incentive” reward system.  During PE, each class will have the opportunity to earn 15 yards.  Once the class gets a touchdown, they will earn a free time PE class.  Each class will be evaluated in four different areas:

• Sportsmanship               = 2.5 yards
• Participation/attitude      = 2.5 yards
• Use of time/clean up     =  2.5 yards
• Respect   = 2.5 yards

If a class receives all ten points (yards)–they will get a first down and an additional 5 yard bonus.  If a class doesn’t receive any yards–they will receive a 5 yard penalty.  Once a class gets a touchdown, they will vote on what the class would like to do for their free time PE class. 

As always, if I have an independent behavior issue with your child I will be in contact with you.    Thank you for your support. 

Upcoming:   Our first unit will be soccer.  All kids will learn basic vocabulary, and have the opportunity to practice some skills.  Older kids will also have the opportunity to scrimmage while the littles continue to practice basic ball handling skills.

 

Announcement:  If you would like to volunteer during your child' s PE class, please reach out and we can arrange something.

 My hope is that students can participate fully and safely in PE class, so it is important that your child wears appropriate footwear to PE, so it would be greatly appreciated if you help your child remember what color of the day he or she has PE.  Thank you families, for your help with this.  As always, please send any questions, or concerns my way.
