You've reached the webpage for Coach Topper and Coach Pearl in Physical Education. Welcome back! We are happy to be here and hope to contribute to the fitness level, well-being and physical skills of your students. We are off and running in preparation for the Presidential Physical Fitness Challenge! Letters are coming home with the information you need to see the specific standards appropriate for your child's/children's age level/s. Feel free to contact us if you have specific questions at extension 248. Coach Pearl will teach 1A and Kindergarten on Tuesday afternoons, I will teach their 2nd PE class on Thursday afternoons and teach all other grades both PE classes/week. All students have PE 2x's/week. K-3 have 45 minute classes and 4-5 have 60 minute PE classes. Sneakers are required for student participation. PE gym shirts can be ordered through the office. We will engage your child/children in activities that reinforce acquisition of gross locomotor skills, a variety of sport skills, sport etiquette and rules as well as a plethora of active games. Sportsmanship and character traits will be emphasized over competition. We are also covering the NC Standard Course of Study for PE. There are healthful living performance objectives for each grade which combine health education and physical education that we follow for our instruction. The intent of the North Carolina Healthful Living Standard Course of Study is to establish competency goals and objectives for the teaching and learning of behaviors that contribute to a healthful lifestyle and improved quality of life for all students. Attention will also be given to the Grade-level Major Emphases and Focus areas to ensure students experience a comprehensive sequential educational program that involves learning a variety of skills and concepts that are health-enhancing. Happy New Year, and away we go! We all look forward to going to new levels in 2012... The final fitness testing will begin soon, and your help is always deeply appreciated to help with the testing. Thank you in advance. I will be contacting grade parents shortly to recruit some help.
We will begin basketball in PE in the next week. Students in all grades will work on skills, drills and lead-up games. Soon, our annual student/faculty basketball game will be scheduled for a day during Catholic Schools week. Our students will have ample opportunity to develop skills, strategies and enhance their fitness to be up for the challenge against the faculty. It should be FUN for all!
Thank you all for your generosity at Christmas and willingness to be such a viable Catholic community here at St. Patrick's. We are all truly blessed! Feel free to call me at ext. 248. You can probably reach Coach Pearl best at Our Lady of Assumption where he will spend most of his time. Thank you and be blessed! Coach Topper Coach Pearl
